Righteous

In this hotly anticipated follow-up to the smash hit IQ, a New York Times Critics´ Best of the Year and winner of the Anthony, Macavity, and Shamus Awards, Isaiah uncovers a secret behind the death of his brother, Marcus. For ten years, something has gnawed at Isaiah Quintabe´s gut and kept him up nights, boiling with anger and thoughts of revenge. Ten years ago, when Isaiah was just a boy, his brother was killed by an unknown assailant. The search for the killer sent Isaiah plunging into despair and nearly destroyed his life. Even with a flourishing career, a new dog, and near-iconic status as a PI in his hometown, East Long Beach, he has to begin the hunt again-or lose his mind. A case takes him and his volatile, dubious sidekick, Dodson, to Vegas, where Chinese gangsters and a terrifying seven-foot loan shark are stalking a DJ and her screwball boyfriend. If Isaiah doesn´t find the two first, they´ll be murdered. Awaiting the outcome is the love of IQ´s life: fail, and he´ll lose her. Isaiah´s quest is fraught with treachery, menace, and startling twists, and it will lead him to the mastermind behind his brother´s death, Isaiah´s own sinister Moriarty. With even more action, suspense, and mind-bending mysteries than Isaiah´s first adventures, Righteous is a rollicking, ingenious thrill ride.
