Publisher's Summary

'In a way, the hate felt good. You were righteous, godlike, the dispenser of justice...'

Super-smart sleuth Isaiah Quintabe - IQ to his friends - has built a mostly respectable life for himself, helping out friends and neighbours when he can and taking the occasional case to make ends meet. But there is one mystery that still haunts him almost 10 years later - did his brother really die in a hit-and-run, or was there more to the story behind his death?

IQ has been approached by his brother's former girlfriend Sarita, whose younger sister, an erratic DJ and gambling addict, has gone missing in Las Vegas - with a frightening loan shark, Chinese Triad gangsters, and her own deadbeat boyfriend hot on her tail. Accompanied once more by his fast-talking, don't-call-me-a-sidekick partner Dodson, IQ heads off for the casinos and massage parlours of Las Vegas.

His quest takes an unexpected turn when he meets a criminal mastermind who knows something about the murky circumstances that surrounded his brother's death. But when Isaiah learns the truth, what will he do with it?

Go with the Flow

I guess you could listen to this without having listened to a previous IQ novel but it probably helps. The plot is complicated with many different characters and gangs. However, maybe that doesn't matter. Just listen to the quality of the writing and reading. Joe Ide has obviously done much research into the LA gangster scene which enhances the enjoyment of an exciting and amusing story. Sullivan Jones manages the large cast with great ease and adds to the fun.
