Silent City knows that every city has its own dark and twisted personality. And so do its inhabitants. Take a chance and step inside.” —Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author“In Silent City, Segura shines a light on a Miami not often seen, one in which neon and glitz are supplanted by the hardscrabble grit of folks just trying to get by.

Alex Segura is a name to watch.” —Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Downfall“Silent City screams off the page!

As someone once wrote, ‘Please, sir, I want more.’” —Kevin Flynn, author of Notes on a Killing, Legally Dead, and Our Little Secret“Silent City is a top-notch thriller. The action is nonstop, the tension is relentless, and in Pete Fernandez, Alex Segura has created the most compelling, original, and complex multilayered hero I’ve encountered in years.” —Andrew Grant, bestselling author of Even, Die Twice, and Run“Silent City is a noir page-turner I couldn’t put down, a race through the Miami that tourists don’t see. I loved the book and can’t wait for the next one. Alex Segura is a writer to watch.” —Sara Gran, bestselling author of Dope and Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead“Silent City is a page-turner right from the get-go, fast and furious and with plenty of bite.” —Adam Christopher, bestselling author of Empire State and The Burning Dark“A thrilling read that picks up speed with each page. This book was a fantastic debut in the mystery genre, and I’m ecstatic that Pete Fernandez has his own series. Looking forward to more from Segura.” —Steve Weddle, acclaimed author of Country Hardball“A gritty murder mystery / detective story set in Miami among the ruins of the old guard media.” —The Huffington Post“Alex Segura nails the mood his first time out with his debut novel, Silent City. He takes the reader on a rough-and-tumble tour of his hometown of Miami, Florida. But hold on. This isn’t the Miami of USA Network’s Burn Notice. No one is cracking wise with a drink by the ocean; Segura’s Miami is haunted by a silent killer while our hero is haunted by his failures.” —Crimespree Magazine“Both a classic and unique detective novel…a pretty powerful and exciting tale.” —Criminal ElementDown the Darkest Street“So many writers have tried to reinvent the PI novel in recent years that it’s refreshing to be reminded it was never broken. Down the Darkest Street is classic PI fiction in the best sense, with a vibrant setting and a character who’s so much more than the sum of his flaws. Larger-than-life has its charms, but Alex Segura shows us how riveting a human-scale story can be.” —Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of Wilde Lake“With a damaged-yet-resilient hero, the meanest of streets, and the twistiest of crimes, Down the Darkest Street is tense and taut.

Pete’s sadness echoes the darkest corners of Miami’s roughest streets.” —Library Journal“Down the Darkest Street is strongest when it focuses on Pete trying to rebuild his life, and sometimes failing…Segura makes us care about Pete, whose struggles with alcohol are realistic…Pete and his journey through Miami are appealing.” —Sun Sentinel“[Pete Fernandez’s] flaws are refreshing after the growing popularity of comic book‒type heroes who, whatever happens, emerge from their brawls with nary a scratch. In contrast, the flawed Fernandez comes across as very, very human.” —Mystery Scene“At once a harrowing crime novel and a deeply human tale of struggle and redemption, Down the Darkest Street will keep you guessing and gasping until you’ve turned the final page.” —Chris Holm, bestselling author of The Killing Kind“Segura’s Down the Darkest Street is pitch-perfect in the key of hard-boiled. A sublime blend of flawed protagonist, hothouse setting, and gritty narrative.” —Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Where It Hurts and Robert B.

Pete Fernandez is the perfect hero to walk the mean streets of both worlds.” ―Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of Robert B. Parker’s Slow Burn and The Innocents“Alex Segura honors the private detective tradition but also expands it. With a rich setting and an engagingly complex main character, Dangerous Ends is a tense, gripping exploration of what happens when a bloody past collides with a dangerous present.” ―Lou Berney, Edgar Award‒winning author of The Long and Faraway Gone“Segura guides Dangerous Ends with surprising, and believable, twists, putting his work firmly among the best of South Florida crime fiction.” ―Sun Sentinel“Segura knows his territory, and the combination of the knowing and troubled detective with the seething backdrop of contemporary Miami makes this a hard series to resist and Dangerous Ends a book you’ll want to read immediately.” ―Bookreporter“Alex Segura is one of the most exciting and vital voices in crime fiction today, and his Pete Fernandez series is keeping private eye fiction alive and kicking (serious ass) in the new millennium. His work does what the best crime fiction should do: take us down city streets we wouldn’t dare visit alone.” ―Duane Swierczynski, Edgar Award‒nominated author of Canary“Like Elmore Leonard before him, Segura drags the darkness out into the hot sunlight. There’s a lot of heart in these broken souls.” ―Brian Azzarello, author of 100 Bullets, Moonshine, and BatmanBlackoutAnthony Award Nominee for Best NovelOne of Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Crime, Mystery, and Thrillers of 2018One of BookBub’s Biggest Mystery and Thrillers of Spring 2018One of Mystery People’s Most Anticipated Books of 2018“Expertly weaving the past and present, Alex Segura masterfully cranks the tension while revealing the demons that both haunt PI Pete Fernandez and drive him forward. Blackout will hook you on Fernandez and Alex Segura. Let’s have more, and soon.” ―Robert Crais, New York Times bestselling author of The Wanted“With its smart dialogue and vivid settings, this series concentrates equally on the trajectory of Pete Fernandez’s life and the mysteries he tries to solve. From both perspectives, it’s fine crime fiction.” ―Booklist“A hot summer read!” ―The Boston Globe“Blackout is cool, vivid―and poignant.

Deftly shifting through three distinct periods in time, he shows us the scars that never heal, while allowing for moments of grace.

Segura and Miami Midnight do this consistently from beginning to end. If you’re searching for a book with which to spend the closing days of summer, you need look no further.” ―Bookreporter“Segura brings the Miami setting to life in the same way that James Lee Burke has made a career out of capturing the ambiance of Louisiana, or how C.J. Box’s deep knowledge of Wyoming often makes the setting itself a character within the story. Simply put, Miami Midnight is superb.” ―The Real Book Spy“Alex Segura’s PI series is one of the best around, and this latest offering might very well be the pick of the bunch. Don’t miss it.” ―Michael Harvey, author of Pulse and Brighton“Topflight suspense, full of head-snapping twists, but what sets it apart are its richly detailed and engaging characters, especially Pete Fernandez, whose troubled past rises up to threaten him and all he holds dear.” ―James W.
