Isaiah Quintabe - the genius PI who combines book smarts, street smarts and enough blistering action to melt the pavement of East Long Beach - is back with a new adventure.

Fresh off the beating he took at the hands of a gang of ex-Abu Ghraib thugs working as paramilitary contractors, IQ is determined to build a life for himself with his new girlfriend, Grace. For once, he wants to be normal: a normal guy, with a normal PI business, doing the best he can.

But this is IQ, and trouble is never far behind him.

Joined by his faithful band of fast-talking, sharp-tongued partners, Deronda and Dodson, the cases are wild, the mysteries twisty, and the driving fast.
