Red tequila

From New York Times bestselling author Rick Riordan, Tequila Roja is the beginning of the series starring (unlicensed) detective Tres Navarre.

Jackson "Tres" Navarre is an avid tequila drinker, tai chi master, doctor of the Middle Ages, and a graduate of the school of the street. He's also an unlicensed private investigator with a penchant for trouble the size of Texas.

The third generation of a Texan family—hence the Tres in his name—he returns to his hometown of San Antonio ten years after his father's murder. Accompanied by his enchilada- loving cat, Robert Johnson, Tres searches for answers, but what he finds is a massive amount of trouble. The deeper he delves into the search for reasons that will dispel his suspicions, the more the crime of the past resurfaces: involvement with the Mafia, bribes from construction companies, and dangerous political games.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Tres has stirred up a hornet's nest! He's shot, attacked, then run over by a blue Thunderbird... and to top it all off, his former (and still desired) girlfriend is missing. Tres must rescue her, bring his father's killers to justice, and get out before the Texas mob catches up with him. The chances of staying alive have never seemed so distant...

Acclaimed for the resounding success of the young adult fantasy series Percy Jackson and the Olympians and with more than 5 million copies sold in Brazil alone, writer Rick Riordan turns to the adult universe in Tequila Roja , a mystery novel like no other.
