If you’re a fan of Joe Ide’s IQ<\/strong> novels, you probably know that there’s a new one dropping on May 9th.\u00a0 Here’s the lowdown…<\/p>\n

\n

In the latest installment in Joe Ide’s “superb” series (Washington Post<\/em>), the relentless, hard-bitten PI, Isaiah Quintabe, is faced with a nightmarish scenario when the love of his life is kidnapped by a maniacal hitman who bears a grudge against him.<\/p>\n

Danger has always followed IQ, a reality he\u2019s keenly aware of as he\u2019s laid up in a hospital bed, recovering from injuries sustained in his last case. Isaiah cannot help himself from being the hero, and any misery he\u2019s suffered as a result\u2014wounds from a knife fight, gnawing paranoia\u2014he\u2019s suffered alone. Yet as IQ recovers, five hundred miles from East Long Beach, he\u2019s unaware that Grace has been abducted by his sworn enemy, the professional hitman Skip Hanson. Skip is savage and psychotic, determined to punish Isaiah for sending him to prison and destroying his life. Now, Isaiah and his sometimes partner, ex-hustler Juanell Dodson, must track scant clues through L.A.\u2019s perilous landscape as Grace\u2019s predicament grows more uncertain.<\/p>\n

A complication arises in the form of Winnie Hando, a homicide detective with something to prove. Stubborn and effective, Winnie sees Isaiah\u2019s efforts as an obstruction to the investigation and a possible embarrassment: an unlicensed PI can\u2019t be seen doing the department\u2019s job better than the department. Winnie tries to stop Isaiah while pursuing the case herself, their struggles clashing and slowing their progress. As the desperate hunt winds on, Isaiah fears that even if he can bring Grace home alive, things between them will never be the same. This latest series installment is an explosive collision of drug dealers, thieves, maniacs, shotguns, vicious dogs, stampeding horses, and Ide\u2019s signature energy, grit, and profundity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
