Synopsis

In this sixth installment in the critically acclaimed and beloved series, IQ must rescue Grace from a maniacal hitman who bears a bone-deep grudge against him Isaiah Quintabe’s first love, Grace, has been kidnapped 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. Isaiah and his sometimes partner, ex-hustler Juanell Dodson, together again, must track scant clues through L.A.’s perilous landscape as Grace’s predicament grows more uncertain. A complication arises in the form of Winnie Hando, a homicide detective with something to prove. Stubborn and effective, Winnie sees Isaiah’s efforts as an obstruction to the investigation and a possible embarrassment: an unlicensed PI can’t be seen doing the department’s job better than the department. Winnie tries to stop Isaiah while pursuing the case herself, each hindering the other’s 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 larger-than-life characters, shotguns, vicious dogs, stampeding horses, and Ide’s signature energy, grit, and profundity.

Goodreads review by Thomas on May 15, 2023

I'm a big Joe Ide fan. I loved the first two books in the series. I don't know what happened with this book, but at times it seemed to have been written by more than one person. It was choppy. Plot was barely believable. I understand IQ was suffering from PTSD and was not himself, but I didn't feel......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on May 26, 2023

There was a long while between college and middle age during which I didn’t do much reading at all, preferring to spend my time watching movies or television. When I rediscovered my love for reading, one of the first things I got into was Joe Ide’s IQ series, about ‘Encyclopedia Brown’-style “detect......more

Goodreads review by Richard on June 27, 2023

I'd like the thank the publisher, author, and Goodreads for sending me this book in exchange for a fair review. This novel is part of a series. I really don't think that it is required to have read all of the previous books, but I think that you would probably enjoy it more if you had. The book is a......more

Goodreads review by Karl on March 07, 2025

IQ returns with more intensity, more action, and more raw emotion. All the vividly drawn characters from previous books are back and the story races from crisis to crisis, from threat to threat, from close escape to close escape. Sprinkled with IQ's brilliant deductions, the book makes a fitting con......more

Quotes

PRAISE FOR JOE IDE AND THE IQ SERIES: 

"If you’ve read any of his other novels starring the rogue East Long Beach private investigator Isaiah Quintabe, known as “IQ,” you know that Ide doesn’t write conventional suspense stories...."―Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post

“A journeyman writer and a superb storyteller.”―Jeff Mannix, The Durango Telegraph

"Ide has displayed a rare ability to mix dark comedy and gut-churning drama…mixmaster Ide's compulsion to blend light and dark (Isaiah's confrontation with the serial killers, while gruesome, takes the form of "a slapstick movie shot in a burning insane asylum") affects the two plots in surprising ways, again producing an emotion-rich form of character-driven tragicomedy, but one in which peril forever loiters in the shallows.”―Booklist

“The plot lines are becoming even more ferocious. And IQ keeps getting… smarter? Yep. And the ending? YIKES. Book six Mr. Ide? Bring. It. ON!”―Berkley McDaniel, The Southern Bookseller Review

"A brand-new comedic franchise with a bright future... Aggressively entertaining plotting is paired with the kind of dialogue for which readers love Don Winslow. This series is a Los Angeles classic right from the start." ― Janet Maslin, New York Times "Joe’s brilliant imagining of what Sherlock Holmes would be like if he came out of East Long Beach."―Mike Lupica, New York Daily News
