If you’ve read the earlier books in Alex Segura’s Pete Fernandez series, you know that Pete—a Cuban-American Miami native—is a recovering alcoholic who almost inadvertently came to the work of being a paid PI. No Philip Marlowe or Lew Archer here; Pete needed time to learn the investigative ropes. He made frequent mistakes in his early cases and saw people he sought to protect get killed. By now, though, in this new story, Pete has become pretty good at his job, and his confidence has grown in proportion.
