Isaiah Quintabe - IQ for short - has never been more successful or felt more alone. A series of high-profile wins in his hometown of East Long Beach have made him notorious. Dodson, once his sidekick, is now his full-fledged partner, hell-bent on giving IQ's PI business some legitimacy. So when a young painter approaches IQ for help tracking down her missing mother, it's not just the case Isaiah's looking for but the human connection. And when his new confidant turns out to be connected to a dangerous paramilitary operation, IQ falls victim to a threat even a genius can't see coming.

A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. 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. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence.

After his best friend Jar discovers the woman’s true identity, she insists they need to investigate. Nate is not as sure.

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?

Enjoyable but not as tight as the first.
Thankfully, the dodgy audio has been fixed this time around. Not as tight as the first, plot holes you could drive a drop-kicking JC Van Damme through, but still a thoroughly good read. It feels more like a transitional novel: allowing IQ to head out of his hood and widen the parameters of the story- telling. As the book itself alludes, unless this happens, it’s not realistic to expect IQ to do much more than chase off playground bullies and abusive spouses without the whole thing becoming unbelievable. So it’s a necessary step on the way to letting the characters breathe.

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.
