Synopsis

Pete Fernandez should be dead. His life—professional and personal—is in ruins. His best friend is dead. His newspaper career is past tense. His ex is staying with him as her own marriage crumbles. On top of that, the former journalist finds himself in the eye of a dangerous storm; investigating a missing girl with an unexpected partner and inching closer and closer to a vicious, calculating killer cutting a swath of blood across Miami—while at the same time battling his own personal demons that refuse to be silenced.Down the Darkest Street, the hard-boiled sequel to Alex Segura’s acclaimed debut, Silent City, tells a tale of redemption, survival, and the sordid backstreets of Miami—while asking the question that many are too scared to answer: When faced with pure darkness, would you fold or fight?

I'm going to keep it real here: I did not like this book very much. It's awkward for me to say so because I gave a so-so review to the author's first novel and he took it on the chin like a champ, but I have a complete honesty policy here.

I really like this series. This book seems to be the end of a two book origin story. I am curious to see where it goes from here especially after what Pete has been through.......more

Pete Fernandez's life is in ruins, yet he doesn't give up. He fights, and it gets worse. Have to admire a person who under great danger perseveres and presses forward.

Goodreads review by Dave on January 23, 2016
