Isaiah has tried to move on after the heartbreak of Wrecked, and has a new girlfriend. This is unfortunate for her—not because IQ is a bad boyfriend or anything—it's just that when a low-life gun dealer needs Isaiah to investigate something for him, he threatens the poor girl to insure that Isaiah w...

At the end of Righteous, Isaiah meets a girl -- I don't remember much about it, but there's something about her that clearly makes an impression on IQ -- and his dog. It was enough to give us a little hope for our intrepid hero after everything he'd just gone through as we wrapped up the book. This ...

So about half of this book is devoted to Isaiah's renewed efforts to find the man who killed his brother. He quickly concludes that Marcus was not killed in an accident, as h...

He's a fast talking young man who lives and works in Long Beach California, almost akin to a modern day bounty hunter, who accepts occasional cr...

The book opens with a criminal in the making, and a very slapstick-y incident. But even while grinning about that, you get the sense that this character isn't going to be good for more laughs. He's not -- but thankfully, we don't have to spend a lot of time on him, because Isaiah Quintabe (a.k.a. IQ...

I just love this guy Isiah, and don't make me spell his last name, HA! Violence is not his way, he helps people for whatever they can give him and he feels bad for a deal gone bad in his past and takes care of a teenager who lost both of his parents because of that deal.I heard this was going to be ...
