What to expect
They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence. His clients pay him whatever they can afford, a new set of tyres or some homemade muffins. But now he needs a client who can pay. And the only way to that client is through a jive-talking, low-life drug dealer he thought he'd left behind. Then there's the case itself. A drug-addled rap star surrounded by a crew of flunkies who believes his life is in danger; and a hit man who even other hit men say is a lunatic. If he solves this case, IQ can put right a mistake he made long ago. If not it won't just be the hit man coming after him ...

Critics Review
-
Nominated for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel
-
Joe Ide is the best new discovery I’ve come across in a long time. And Isaiah Quintabe is the kind of sleuth not seen on the mystery landscape before
Michael Connelly -
succeeds in being both highly original and continuing the spirit of Conan Doyle… it will be fascinating to see which details from his inspiration the writer adopts.
THE GUARDIAN -
CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH: full of humour, originality and high-quality writing.
THE TIMES -
This is one of the most remarkable debuts I’ve read…Deliciously quirky, written with exceptional panache and a fine ear for dialogue, it introduces the world to an LA private detective who might just become the Holmes of the 21st century
Daily Mail -
This debut novel offers an original twist on the idea of the Sherlockian super-sleuth.. This is terrific fun, a classic crime formula with a cool comtempory feel.
