Down the Darkest Street by Alex Segura

3.0

Pete Fernandez lost a lot a year ago. His best friend was killed in a car bomb meant for him. His ex-fiancee can't decide between him and her husband. His newspaper career is over and he is barely hanging on, living in his father's house and working a part-time job at a bookstore. He is trying to stop drinking, attending meetings and taking it one day at a time. But when he is swept up in another investigation of young girls being murdered in Miami, things go downhill quickly. He is beaten up, his house is burned and his ex-fiancee is almost murdered. Pete has to make a decision, will he actually become a private investigator or just continue bumbling around? This is a great sequel to Silent City , exploring more sides of Pete and developing his character. He is a man caught in crisis, who has not figured out, yet, how to navigate a new reality. Lots of action along with an interesting plot.
