Anthony Award winner Joe Ide is set to continue his critically acclaimed Isaiah ‘IQ’ Quintabe series with Wrecked, which is currently slated to hit bookstores on October 9th.
Wrecked is the third book in Ide’s series, which kicked off in 2016 with his Edgar Award-nominated debut novel, IQ. Ide hit another home run in 2017 with Righteous, which received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly and earned him comparisons to Don Winslow from The New York Times book review, who also called Ide “the best thing to happen to mystery writing in a long time.”
Check out the plot details for Wrecked, which is available for pre-order here, below!
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.
Waiting for Isaiah around every corner is Seb, the Oxford-educated African gangster who was responsible for the death of his brother, Marcus. Only, this time, Isaiah’s not alone. Joined by a new love interest and his familiar band of accomplices, IQ is back–and the adventures are better than ever.
