Exclusive Interview: Blackout Author Alex Segura

In many mystery novels, the private investigator is already deep into their career. But in the books that comprise his Pete Fernandez Mystery Series — Bad Beat (which was co-written by Rob Hart), Silent City, Down The Darkest Street, Dangerous Ends, Shallow Grave (which was co-written by Dave White), and the new Blackout (paperback, Kindle) — writer Alex Segura presents a P.I. who’s still learning the ropes. Though in the following email interview Segura explains that while Fernandez may be relatively new to the P.I. game, he still has a past that can haunt him.

Exclusive Interview: Dangerous Ends Author Alex Segura

For people (like me) who knew Alex Segura as the publicist for DC Comics, his move into writing them came as no surprise. But for fans of Alex’s comics, his move into writing hard boiled crime fiction with 2016’s Silent City was probably a curious one. Especially given that two of his better-known comics were Archie Meets Kiss and Archie Meets The Ramones, and there neither rock stars nor Archies in what became the first book of his Pete Fernandez Mystery series. But what seems to have surprised Alex about this process — as he revealed when discussing the third novel in this series, Dangerous Ends (hardcover, digital) — is how (if I may be so Godfather III about it) every time he thinks he’s out, Pete pulls him back in.
