CrimeReads on MIAMI MIDNIGHT
Segura’s much loved and acclaimed Pete Fernandez series comes to a close this summer with a new installment that finds Pete living a relatively stable life, running a bookshop in Miami and sleuthing by night. The appearance of a Cuban gangster disrupts the calm, as Pete is charged with investigating the murder of a jazz musician, the disappearance of a woman, and, ultimately, his own past. Miami has never been so vibrant, so full of ghosts, as it is in Miami Midnight, which gives Segura ample room to explore the hidden pockets and stories of his (and his hero’s) hometown.

Alex on Spider-Man and Pete
I was putting the finishing touches on Miami Midnight, my fifth — and, for now, final — Pete Fernandez Mystery novel. I’d put Pete through the ringer more than once, and it was time for things to wind down. I’d accomplished what I set out to do with the series — to write books like the ones that inspired me, stories steeped in setting, with problematic leads, like George Pelecanos’s Nick Stefanos books, Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan series and many more. I’d also revealed my private eye’s origin story — how he came to be — and it was time to close out that first, important arc. But it got me to thinking about those early, formative days — when I was figuring out who Pete was.
