Dangerous Ends: (Pete Fernandez Book 3)
NOMINATED FOR THE ANTHONY AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL IN A SERIES! Pete Fernandez has settled into an easy, if somewhat boring life as a P.I.. He takes pictures of cheating husbands. He tracks criminals who've skipped bail and he attends weekly AA meetings The days of chasing murderous killers are behind him. Or are they? When his sometimes partner Kathy Bentley approaches him with a potential new client, Pete balks. Not because he doesn't need the money, but because the case involves Gaspar Varela, a former Miami police officer serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife - one of the most infamous crimes in Miami history. The client? None other than Varela's daughter, Maya, who's doggedly supported her father's claims of innocence. As Pete and Kathy wade into a case that no one wants, they also find themselves in the crosshairs of Los Enfermos, a bloodthirsty gang of pro-Castro killers and drug dealers looking to wipe Pete off the Miami map. As if trying to exonerate Varela wasn't enough, they find themselves entangled in something even older and more surprising--a bloody, political hit ordered by Fidel Castro himself, that left a still-healing scar on Pete--and his dead father's--past. Fast-paced, hardboiled and surprising, Dangerous Ends pushes Pete Fernandez into a battle with a deadlier, more complex threat, as he tries to shake off the demons haunting Miami's own, sordid past.

Praise for this book
Praise for DANGEROUS ENDS
"A real throwback to the kind of books I love. Segura captures the spirit of modern Miami with its complicated past and conflicted present. 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." -Oline Cogdill, Sun Sentinel "A rich seam of noir-dark mystery that intertwines intriguingly with Fernandez's own family story." -Seattle Review of Books "A confirmation that noir hasn't run out of tricks and just might be the ideal vehicle to explore our current moment." -Los Angeles Review of Books "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.com "Dangerous Ends does not disappoint...an enjoyable read." -Criminal Element "Alex Segura's take on the P.I. series perfectly straddles the line between modern and old-school. With each new entry, Pete Fernandez further assures himself a place on the list of reader's favorite private investigators. A love letter to Miami, Dangerous Ends makes excellent use of the diversity found in this hot and unique American city." -BOLO Books "A case with dark, unexpected twists." -Publishers Weekly "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 Batman "Lively characters, clear prose, a good mystery and a satisfying amount of action make this one another winner and the last chapter made me very eager to read the next one in the series." -Sons of Spade
Praise for Alex Segura's Pete Fernandez series "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. A series not to be missed."
--Megan Abbott, bestselling author of THE FEVER "Segura (has) an edgy storytelling style, snappy dialogue, and a cast of salty characters. A really fine crime story."
--Booklist "(Segura) has created the next great hard-boiled protagonist in Pete Fernandez...DOWN THE DARKEST STREET marks the emergence not just of the next great crime fiction series, but of a writer on the rise."
