An IQ novel

Danger has always followed IQ, a reality he's keenly aware of as he's laid up in a hospital bed, recovering from injuries sustained during his last case. Isaiah cannot help himself from being the hero, and any misery he's suffered as a result - wounds from a knife fight, gnawing paranoia - he's suffered alone. Yet as IQ heals, five hundred miles from East Long Beach, he's unaware that Grace has been abducted by his sworn enemy, the professional hitman Skip Hanson. Skip is savage and psychotic, determined to punish Isaiah for sending him to prison and destroying his life. Now Isaiah and his sometime partner, ex-hustler Juanell Dodson, must trach scant clues through LA's perilous landscape as Grace's predicament grows more uncertain. A complication arises in the form of Winnie Hando, a homicide detective with something to prove. Stubborn and effective, Winnie sees Isaiah's efforts as an obstruction to the investigation and a possible embarrassment: an unlicensed PI can't be seen doing the department's job better than the department. Winnie tries to stop Isaiah while pursuing the case herself, each hindering the other's progress. As the desperate hunt winds on, Isaiah fears that even if he can bring Grace home alive, things between them will never be the same
