Silent City by Alex SeguraRead about the other entries on the list.
Fans of down-on-their-luck PIs can do no better than Pete Fernandez. Silent City, the first in Alex Segura’s critically acclaimed series, finds Pete in pretty dire straights, mostly of his own creation. A missing person’s case pulls him back from the brink of self-destruction only to be thrown into the path of a vicious killer. One of the delights of this series is watching Pete evolve from an unlikely PI into a bonafide hero. Also a delight is the way Segura leans into the noir vibes of Miami.
