This reading order guide provides the complete list of Alex Segura books in order, from the very first to the latest, so you won’t miss anything!

Alex Segura is a storyteller at heart—a writer who masterfully blends mystery, crime, and deeply personal journeys into every page he writes. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Segura doesn’t just write about his hometown—he brings it to life in a way that feels raw, real, and unforgettable. His stories are not about the glossy postcard version of Miami. Instead, he dives deep into the city’s hidden corners, gritty streets, and emotional undercurrents. For anyone who loves a good crime novel with a strong sense of place, Segura’s books are a must-read.

Best known for his gripping Pete Fernandez Mystery Series, Segura introduced readers to Pete in 2016 with the release of Silent City. From the first page, Pete isn’t your typical hero. He’s flawed, haunted, and trying to piece his life back together—qualities that make him feel incredibly human. As Pete falls deeper into the dangerous world of Miami crime, readers follow along, unable to look away. Each book in the series takes you further into the darkness but also deeper into Pete’s journey of self-discovery and redemption.

What makes Segura’s writing stand out is the perfect balance between plot-driven action and emotional depth. The tension in his stories is high from start to finish, and every twist feels earned. But beyond the murders, mysteries, and betrayals, there’s always a human story—about grief, loss, hope, and finding your way when the world feels broken.

Segura’s talent isn’t limited to novels. He is also a successful comic book writer and has contributed to several anthologies, including Protectors 2, Apollo’s Daughters, and Unloaded 2. His essays and stories have appeared in major outlets like Mental Floss, Literary Hub, and The Strand Magazine, showcasing his versatile voice and unique perspective.

One of his standout achievements outside traditional publishing is Lethal Lit, a crime podcast he co-created and co-wrote. In 2018, it was named one of The New York Times’ “Five Best Podcasts of the Year.” That’s no small feat—and it proves Segura knows how to tell a compelling story, no matter the format.

The third book in the Pete Fernandez series, Dangerous Ends, added another layer to Pete’s story, weaving in political intrigue and a decades-old murder case with ties to Cuban history. It’s one of the most complex books in the series, praised for its sharp writing and emotional depth. Segura doesn’t just entertain—he makes you think and feel with every chapter.

With Blackout, the fourth installment, Segura proved once again that he’s a master of suspense. The novel not only made “most anticipated” lists from BookBub, CrimeReads, and MysteryPeople, but was also chosen as a Best Book of 2018 by Criminal Element and CrimeReads. It’s fast-paced, full of surprises, and driven by a main character who refuses to give up—even when the odds are stacked against him.

If you’re new to Alex Segura, the Pete Fernandez books are the perfect place to start. Each title builds on the last, giving readers more of Pete’s world and his ongoing battle with personal demons. But at the same time, each book offers a fresh mystery and a new reason to keep turning the pages.

Alex Segura writes with honesty, heart, and a deep understanding of human nature. He creates characters that stay with you long after the book is closed. Whether you’re a longtime mystery fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, Segura’s work offers something truly special: stories that are gripping, grounded, and undeniably real.

For fans of noir crime fiction with a modern twist, or anyone who loves a great character-driven story set in a vividly drawn world, Alex Segura’s novels are essential reading. He continues to shape the future of crime fiction—one unforgettable book at a time.
