Synopsis

Pete Fernandez is a mess. He’s on the brink of being fired from his middle-management newspaper job. His fiancée has up and left him. Now, after the sudden death of his father, he’s back in his hometown of Miami, slowly drinking himself into oblivion. But when a coworker he barely knows asks Pete to locate a missing daughter, Pete finds himself dragged into a tale of murder, drugs, double crosses, and memories bursting from the black heart of the Miami underworld—and, shockingly, his father’s past.Making it up as he goes and stumbling as often as he succeeds, Pete’s surreptitious quest becomes the wake-up call he’s never wanted but has always needed—but one with deadly consequences. Welcome to Silent City, a story of redemption, broken friendships, lost loves, and one man’s efforts to make peace with a long-buried past to save the lives of the few friends he has left. Silent City is a gritty, heartfelt debut novel that harkens back to classic PI tales, but infused with the Miami that only Alex Segura knows.

Goodreads review by Kemper on July 15, 2020

This is why I don’t do favors for people at work. First, it’s just loaning them a pen, and the next thing you know you’re trying to find somebody’s missing daughter which pisses off a mysterious killer. Pete Fernandez is a guy who once had a lot of promise, but he’s been on the skids since the death......more

Goodreads review by Tom on January 01, 2014

With his debut novel, “Silent City,” Alex Segura has written a crime thriller set in Miami populated by … get this … actual human beings. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of what Dave Barry has called the “bunch of nuts in South Florida genre” of crime fiction. Love Tim Dorsey. Carl Hiaasen is like......more

Goodreads review by Benoit on March 08, 2016

There was a lot of good stuff and a lot of bad stuff in that novel. What I'll say though is that it was interesting. The greatest sin of a novel is being flat and SILENT CITY definitely isn't. The Good I really liked Pete Fernandez, thought he was adorably messy and pigheaded. I understood why he was......more

Goodreads review by Tania on July 06, 2014

I don't usually read crime/mystery thrillers but I heard some good buzz about this book, and wanted to check it out. This book is proof that a good story will draw you in, regardless of the genre. I found myself hooked from the get go, and the plot kept me guessing as the stakes grew higher and high......more
