Authors on the Air host welcomes Alex Segura who is here to discuss his new book SILENT CITY and getting rave reviews.

 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 co-worker 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 P.I. tales, but infused with the Miami that only Alex Segura knows.

"Segura's command of tight plotting and realistic characters keeps this energetic debut on track."

—The Miami Herald

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack presents dark crime fiction writer Jen Conley, whose new book CANNIBALS, should be nominated for an Anthony Award this year.  From Jen:  I was born and raised in New Jersey. I grew up in Ocean County, more specifically Manchester Township, also sometimes known as Lakehurst, where the Hindenburg crashed, or the cover of the first two Zeppelin albums. It's the northern end of the Pine Barrens, a large forested area that encompasses a big chunk of central and south Jersey. Right now, I still live in Ocean County, but closer to the beach, or the Jersey Shore as the non-locals call it.  I guess I'm somewhat of a Jersey girl: I have a pretty strong accent--yes, I say "dawg" instead of "dog"--I'm a pizza expert, I drive like a madwoman, and I tend to wear a lot of black. I love classic rock music, even if most of it's overplayed, and hanging out with my son and fiancé.  I love to debate music, television, movies and politics. My pet peeves are cave crickets, people who drive the speed limit in the left lane, and my governor.
