BLURB:
Pete
Fernandez has settled into an easy, if somewhat boring life as a P.I.
He takes pictures of cheating husbands. He tracks criminals who've
skipped bail and he attends weekly AA meetings. The days of chasing
murderous killers are behind him. Or are they?
When
his sometimes partner Kathy Bentley approaches him with a potential
new client, Pete balks. Not because he doesn't need the money, but
because the case involves Gaspar Varela, a former Miami police officer
serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife - one of the most
infamous crimes in Miami history. The client? None other than Varela's
daughter, Maya, who has doggedly supported her father's claims of
innocence.
As
Pete and Kathy wade into a case that no one wants, they also find
themselves in the crosshairs of Los Enfermos, a bloodthirsty gang of
pro-Castro killers and drug dealers looking to wipe Pete off the Miami
map. As if trying to exonerate Varela wasn't enough, they find
themselves entangled in something even older and more surprising: a
bloody, political hit ordered by Fidel Castro himself, that left a still
healing scar on Pete and his dead father's past.
Fast
paced, hardboiled and surprising, Dangerous Ends pushes Pete Fernandez
into a battle with a deadlier, more complex threat, as he tries to
shake off the demons haunting Miami's own, sordid past.

MY THOUGHTS
First
off, you may want to read the first two books to get a background on
the characters and some information on the setting. You do get a bit of
information from the first two books in the third book, though. Corruption on the dark side of Miami.
Do
you like danger, dead bodies, murder, investigators? I could go on and
on. This book gives that private investigator in you everything you
need to help solve the case.
Varela,
a cop, was convicted of his wife's murder but was he guilty? Maya, his
daughter, thinks not. She feels they convicted the wrong person.
There was someone who saw what happened according to Varela. But
Varela's colleagues decided he was lying and so it went to trial. The
woman that saw the crime, got on the stand and took back her statement.
The only hope left after appeals and appeals, is another trial, but
that means starting over and trying to find new, more substantial
evidence and witnesses, if there is any.
So
Maya hires a couple to help. Kathy and Pete. Pete investigates and
Kathy writes a book. Will truth be found? There's another problem.
Someone doesn't want them to find the truth. Now other lives are at
stake, literally. Some could die trying to clear Varela. Will Pete
continue to try to solve this case even though he could die trying?
And, Why would anyone go to those extents to hide the truth? Could the
gangs of Miami be involved? But why? Could it be the murderer? If so,
why kill Varela's wife? and frame him?
So
if you like investigating murders and such while sitting in your arm
chair late at night, open the book. Sometimes truth is hard to bring
to light but Pete Fernandez isn't giving up, at least as long as he's
alive.
Put
your investigative skills to work and stand by Pete as he tries to
clear Varela of murder. But you might want to watch your back. Someone
is free out there. It may be the murderer who doesn't want the truth to
be found. WATCH YOUR BACK! and read on!
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily decided to review it.
