But in the books that comprise his Pete Fernandez Mystery Series — Bad Beat (which was co-written by Rob Hart), Silent City, Down The Darkest Street, Dangerous Ends, Shallow Grave (which was co-written by Dave White), and the new Blackout (paperback, Kindle) — writer Alex Segura presents a P.I. who’s still learning the ropes.
