The potential reward is too good to pass, so IQ agrees.\u00a0 That’s how they begin working for a big time rapper whose life was threatened.\u00a0 Soon IQ and Dodson find themselves up against a cold-blooded killer with an attack dog the size of a small bear, and a large list of suspects who’d benefit from the rapper’s death.\u00a0 Before it’s over IQ and Dodson are on the killer’s list.\u00a0 Identifying the killer and who hired him will save the rapper’s life as well as their own.\u00a0 If they can.<\/p>\n Joe Ide has created a unique character with Isaiah Quintabe.\u00a0 It’s impressive how Ide sets up the first IQ<\/span> book.\u00a0 Ide gets in background information, early cases, and IQ’s unlikely partnership with Dodson while at the same time keeping the story moving.\u00a0 Everything, the settings, the characters and the dialogue, all ring true. Because of this, when Ide introduces the killer and his beast-dog, we buy it.\u00a0 Ide has created memorable characters and a great first story for our modern day Sherlock Holmes.\u00a0 I loved IQ<\/span> and look forward to more of his adventures.<\/p>\n IQ<\/span> rates 5 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n IQ by Joe Ide Trade Paperback: \u200e 352 pages Publisher: \u200eMulholland Books First sentence… Isaiah’s crib looked like every other<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,52,51,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-authors","category-books","category-crime","category-z-view"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29567"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29595,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29567\/revisions\/29595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
