Bookseller Recommendation
Smoke
“This series just gets better as it progresses. A big part of it is the character development and the big arcs in the story telling. Here, we get much more about Dodson and Deronda. There were some definite laugh-out-loud scenes with Dodson and his mother in law, as he tries to figure out how to code switch. Seeing both these characters grow throughout the series has been so satisfying. The mystery in this book, with IQ is good, as IQ tries to heal from his past trauma. But be forewarned, while the mystery does wrap up, there is a doozy of an ending.”
Audrey, Belmont Books
Description
After double-crossing gang leaders on both sides of the city, IQ has become L.A.'s most hunted man in this thrilling crime novel from an "electrifying" talent (Time).
In East Long Beach, California, the LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. A high school dropout, Isaiah Quintabe's unassuming nature disguises a ferocious intelligence. Most people call him IQ. Word has gotten around: if you've got a problem, Isaiah will solve it, his rates adjustable to your income or lack thereof. In this fifth book in the IQ series, IQ is back, with the same larger-than-life characters and pulse-pounding action fans love—all leading up to a twist even a genius can't see coming.
