Hi Five: An electrifying combination of Holmesian mystery and SoCal grit

'THE BEST NEW DISCOVERY I'VE COME ACROSS IN A LONG TIME' Michael Connelly 'WRITING SO SHARP YOU MAY CUT YOUR FINGERS ON THE PAGES' Attica Locke 'THE HOTTEST OF RECENTLY-EMERGED CRIME WRITERS' New York Times 'ONE OF THE HOTTEST MYSTERY NOVELISTS AT WORK' Washington Post 'IDE WRITES WITH CONFIDENCE AND A SHARP WIT' Sunday Times 'THE HOLMES OF THE 21ST CENTURY' Daily Mail Christiana is the daughter of the biggest arms dealer on the West Coast, Angus Byrne. She's also the sole witness and number-one suspect in the murder of her boyfriend - found dead inside her Newport Beach boutique. Angus will do anything to save his daughter and he thinks private eye Isaiah Quintabe is just the man for the job - an offer IQ soon learns he can't refuse. The catch: Christiana has multiple personalities. Five radically different ones - among them, a naive shopkeeper, an obnoxious drummer in a rock band and a wanton seductress. IQ's dilemma: no one personality saw the entire incident. To find out what really happened the night of the murder, Isaiah must piece together clues from each of the personalities - before the cops catch up.
