Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner Alex Segura (Secret Identity) continues the Marvel Crime series of thriller books for adults with the all-new legal noir story of the Punisher on trial for the murder or the Kingpin—with Matt Murdock as his defense attorney.
When the call comes in that the Kingpin and a police officer have been killed and that Frank Castle (aka the Punisher) has turned himself in for it, Matt senses holes in the narratives the media and the streets are quick to run with.
Both criminals have been Matt’s nemeses when he dons the cowl of the Daredevil, and there’s no denying that New York is better off without its Kingpin and the Punisher behind bars. And yet, while the Punisher is a murderous vigilante, he doesn’t kill cops. And he doesn’t turn himself in.
Castle certainly deserves prison for all of the other crimes he has committed in the past. However, Matt’s indominable sense of justice insists that nobody should be sent to prison for crimes they didn’t actually commit. Representing the vigilante in court, Matt enters a contest of wills and guile with Castle to try and uncover the game beneath the game. And when Matt’s girlfriend takes the stand and complicates matters, there’s truly no rest for the wicked or the just. As the Kingpin’s absence has passions running hot in Hell’s Kitchen, Matt must decide if justice means the letter of the law, what’s best for the citizen on the streets, or where is heart is beginning to lead him.
Enemy of My Enemy continues the Marvel Crime series that began with Lisa Jewell’s Breaking the Dark, and brings fans into a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe.

This was SUCH a lovely little treat I devoured this like a kid in a candy store
This is, first and foremost, a celebration of Daredevil and its history. It pays homage to iconic DD scenes, and his struggles in the story are illustrative of what make him compelling as character and as a hero (to the point where it is reeeeally lacking in subtlety lmao but I think expecting that is a misunderstanding of what the book is going for). The mystery and plot weaves in aspects and characters from the comics without making the fanservice overbearing, and I ate it up like slop every time. I was kicking my feet and giggling like a lil dork
That isn't to say that the noir crime aspects aren't interesting - my favorite parts of this are when Matt was in the courtroom or having conversations with Castle as his lawyer - but imo they're just adequate, and it's clear Segura was prioritizing making this a Daredevil story. The conclusion of the mystery was pretty clear to me from the beginning, but the journey and twists were still engaging because Segura REALLY did his homework and uses the extensive lore to his advantage. It's integrated soooo well and it didn't feel clunky or forced. It reads like a Daredevil comic arc in prose. It elevated this book for me. I really liked it!!! But I feel a little bad for the show-only people in the comments. I don't think your knowledge needs to be by any means comprehensive, and the book does its best to give background on anything that's going on, but even then, what's the point of reading if you're going to be missing out on a significant chunk of what makes this so great?
It's Spider-Man: No Way Home but for comic Daredevil people. It reads like an event and a love letter to the character. I feel like newcomers are just gonna think that this is okay at best, but if you like Daredevil comics, you're probably gonna have a good time.
Thank you to NetGalley and Hyperion Avenue for giving me this ARC! The review is honest tho I had an embarrassing amount of fun

After loving the first book in the Marvel Crime series, I was eager to see what
Alex Segura
would do with Daredevil in
Enemy of My Enemy
. Segura crafts a tale that feels just as much as a Daredevil comic as it does the crime novel it sets out to be. With plenty of twists, turns and action, it's truly is a fantastic Marvel crime story.
When reports come in that the Kingpin and a police officer have been killed and that Frank Castle (aka the Punisher) has turned himself in for it, Matt Murdock senses holes in the narratives the media and the streets are quick to run with.
Both criminals have been Matt’s nemeses when he dons the cowl of the Daredevil, and there’s no denying that New York is better off without its Kingpin and with the Punisher behind bars. And yet . . . while the Punisher is a murderous vigilante, he doesn’t kill cops. And he doesn’t turn himself in.
Castle certainly deserves prison for all of the other crimes he has committed in the past. However, Matt’s indominable sense of justice insists that nobody should be locked away for crimes they didn’t actually commit. Representing the vigilante in court, Matt enters a contest of wills and guile with Castle to try and uncover the game beneath the game. And when Matt’s girlfriend takes the stand and complicates matters, there’s truly no rest for the wicked or the just. As the Kingpin’s absence causes passion and ambitions to run hot in Hell’s Kitchen, Matt must decide if justice means the letter of the law, what’s best for the citizen on the streets, or where his heart leading him.
Personally, I believe Marvel made all the right choices with the first two books in the Marvel Crime series. Focusing on characters such as Jessica Jones and Daredevil were strong places to begin, but the real success lies with bringing on authors such as Lisa Jewell and Segura to foster this stories. While I feel this series suits Jessica Jones just the slightest bit more, this latest installment in the series fearing Daredevil was also wonderful.
Enemy of My Enemy reads with such cinematic presence, feeling a ton like the Netflix and Disney+ series featuring Charlie Cox as titular character. So much so, that I was picturing Cox's portrayal of Matt Murdock/Daredevil as the main character in this story. The crime is high-profile, but the story plays more to the street level of the characters allowing us to connect to them on a more personal level. At times, it felt like a blend of Marvel and Law & Order, which, personally, was an absolute delight.
Segura intertwines and features a ton of Daredevil related characters from the comics which I felt could've been distracting if not handle just right, but the author was purposeful on how he used each and every one of them. Longtime fans of Daredevil will love the nods to the classic characters and the inclusion in this crime story. While Enemy of My Enemy is undeniably a superhero story, at its core is a crime noir. The purpose of this tale is to solve a crime and what happens along the way is what made it feel like the Daredevil we all have come to love. Mixing mediums like this can be challenging but Segura handles it with ease.
While I found myself figuring out the major twist before it was revealed, it didn't take away from the story and my overall enjoyment. I still wanted to continue to the end and wrap on the story at hand.
Enemy of My Enemy by Alex Segura carries forward the feeling of the Marvel Crime series that began with Breaking the Dark , but brings a bit more of the grit and grime of the street-level side of the Marvel Universe in Hell's Kitchen. It expands this emerging corner of the Marvel Crime universe, but is a nice standalone crime story that doesn't need any further reading to enjoy.
Enemy of My Enemy hits bookstores everywhere on March 24, 2026 from Hyperion Avenue. The audiobook is available exclusively via Audible.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Alex Segura pens the second book in the Marvel Crime series, following Matt Murdock in his quest to safeguard Hell's Kitchen from crime. For those wary about MCU endless tie-ins, this is a standalone novel, so reading the preceding book by Lisa Jewell isn't necessary, although knowing about Daredevil in the comics will give readers a better advantage at guessing the mystery early on.
"Enemy of My Enemy" has a promising setup, where two of Matt Murdock's antagonists have gone against each other and one has paid the price with his life. Daredevil's archnemesis, Wilson Fisk a.k.a "the Kingpin" of crime, was seemingly gunned down by the murderous vigilante, the Punisher. Matt decides to give Frank Castle a fair day in court by defending him, even though the Punisher has unquestionably murdered many people, and doesn't exactly deny killing Fisk, he's adamant about not killing the cop who was in the same area. It's a great setup to really play with Matt's devotion to the ideals of justice, even as he spends a lot of the time swinging around at night as a vigilante.
Segura writes this like a comic book, right down to the pacing. While the courtroom drama simmers in the background, Daredevil gets into fights that would leave him hospitalized at least three times during the book. His search for answers leads him to some fan favorite cameos and lesser-explored villains (but no Stilt Man, sorry to the four Still Man fans out there). This keeps the chapters brisk and adventurous, but I admit I personally was more interested in seeing the overarching legal conflict more than Daredevil punch mobsters. Matt struggling to deal with Frank's point of view, that a flawed system doesn't provide real justice, was frequently sidelined and I felt that Frank Castle was not as well-written as the other established characters. Which is really a shame because that was the most interesting part for me, so even though the rest of the novel was very strong, it felt like that was at the expense of something better.
Even though I felt the coutroom drama was underutilized, it wasn't as if the plot was spinning its wheels. The murder mystery was established, although comic book powers mean it's not exactly fair play when you can legally call up Skrull shapeshifters and L.M.D. robots to explain away why people who were supposed to be dead are suddenly walking around. If people were reading this expecting a Connelly or Crais investigation, they'll probably be disappointed. But comic book fans will nod and say, "okay, yeah sure that made sense" when everything is revealed. Daredevil's many vignettes of crime fighting do build up to some thread of comprehension, and the flashbacks to his past help non-comic book readers to keep up with his adventures while not overstaying their welcome to those who already know about Daredevil's many rock bottoms.
Overall, this is a really solid outing for Marvel prose novels. It pays homage to the many dark conflicts of Hell's Kitchen and gives Matt more than just rooftop ledges to grapple with. While I don't think it stuck the landing as well as could be, the adventure is worth the read. Unless you're a Punisher or Stilt Man fan.

As someone whose favorite Marvel character is Daredevil, I have been excited and eagerly anticipating this novel since the moment it was announced. I’m very happy to say it lived up to the expectations I had and even exceeded them!
The story takes you on a true journey, with all the twists and turns I’ve come to expect and love from not only a Daredevil adventure but comics as a whole. It’s packed with cameos from other beloved characters, heroes and villains alike, and several fun easter eggs for those who care to notice. This is the Daredevil we’ve all come to know and love: the one who gets beaten and bloodied to keep Hell’s Kitchen safe, the one who puts aside the needs of his own life to save others and make sure justice is dealt in equal and fair measure, the one who does it all with a smirk on his face and his fists raised. Whether you’re a fan of Daredevil in the comics or the shows, this book is for you. It has mystery, intrigue, murder, memorable fights, and, most importantly, Matt Murdock doing what he does best: being the best defense attorney in NYC.
This second installment in the Marvel Crime series is a huge step above its predecessor, and I can’t wait for more people to experience it! Some of the writing can get slightly repetitive toward the beginning as things are being established, and I do wish some of the fighting had been given longer sequences, but overall I loved every moment and neither aspect takes away from my enjoyment of the story. It gets a solid 4.5/5 stars from me, and I look forward to the day I can add a physical copy to my shelves and can re-read it as often as I choose!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, Hyperion Avenue, for allowing me access to an advance review copy. I don’t believe I have ever been more excited to receive an email!

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
This is a Marvel Crime novel featuring Matt Murdock, otherwise named Daredevil. It appears that Punisher has killed a cop and Kingpin. He gives himself up and Matt signs up to be his lawyer against Foggy’s vote, Punisher is adamant he never killed a cop but never said yes or no to Kingpin and doesn’t help Matt put together a defense. Hat leaves Matt to do what he can in the courtroom but he can do so much more on the streets as Daredevil with big thanks to his newspaper friend Ben. I will stop there because you need the read the rest yourself.
This was so good but being a fan of these offshoots of Marvel I figured I would like it. If you are a purest of the original comic there might be some differences, but I didn’t mind. I would have to say I like Daredevil the most as he has really no superpowers, just what he has been trained for since he lost his sight as a child. This book is action packed and fast paced so hang on this will be quite the ride.

I like to thank Edelweiss and the publisher for allowing me a chance at reading this. I love Daredevil and after the show and its 'rebirth', I wanna promote and read anything new.
I will say that those who are interested in just the show will be a bit upset due the fact that this is for those who read the Marvel comics. From what I gather, they seem to grab from the Zardarsky run and bits and pieces from others.
The plot is a true murder mystery. The Punisher / Castle is labeled the killer of Fisk, but shady coverups and etc. seem to point in a direction that he may not be the killer... and Fisk might not actually be dead.
With the help of Jessica Jones, a shadowy Electra and a current love interest (not to mention Ben Ulrich) Matt and Daredevil have to figure out this case and the rumbling criminal syndicate who is looking to take over the city.
I liked the writing, I liked the way that there is a distinction between Matt and when Daredevil is on page. I think the characters were pretty close to the Marvel comics.
The only grudge I had is that since most are grabbing this because they are expecting a story within the canon or inspired by the TV show(s). While one can see Charlie Cox and the others acting out the show, there is that factor that if you're not familiar with the comics characters / motivations will be lost on you.
Still, a strong book.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for the ARC I received for review. I enjoyed this story but I expected and predicted most of the twists. It is a relatively short book and fast read. Having Matt continue to balance his life between D+aredevil and a mild mannered attorney and his personal relationship is always challenging.

Would be so good if it had better writing. Can follow the story easily but a big part of it was screaming at the reader to remind them who they were following. That got annoying.
