Alex Segura is the author of the Pete Fernandez Miami Mysteries, including "Silent City," "Down the Darkest Street," "Dangerous Ends," and the brand-new "Blackout."
Amazon describes the Pete Fernandez novels as "running on two tracks – the long-buried Miami mystery that Pete is forced to solve, and Pete’s often unpredictable evolution from self-destructive alcoholic to somewhat functional private eye." As the latest book in the series, "Blackout" takes things to new heights (or depths).
Alex stopped by Noir on the Radio to chat about (among other things) mystery-writing, adapting a city as a "character" within a series (something that the Pete Fernandez books share with series such as Connelly's LA-set Bosch books), and why poetry is a fantastic learning tool for newer writers.
