twists,

to

brother's
death,

"Joe Ide is the best new discovery I've come across in a long time. And Isaiah Quintabe is the kind of sleuth not seen on the mystery landscape before.Righteousis a riveting follow up toIQ."—Michael Connelly, author of The Late Show
"Last year, Joe Ide became the best thing to happen to mystery writing in a very long time. . . . There are a lot of fine reasons to discover Ide's work. . . . He writes thumbnail descriptions that rival Elmore Leonard's. . . . His dialogue, much of it unprintable here, has bite that puts him in the Winslow/Lehane league. . . . The world of these books is one of constant trash talk, and Ide delivers it with style. . . . It may be time for Ide to lay to rest Isaiah's Marcus obsession and give him other things to think about. I can't wait to find out what they'll be."—Janet Maslin,New York Times
"Excellent... Ide keepsRighteouson a righteous path of compelling storytelling, allowing his characters to flourish while exploring the worst of human nature. Never once doesRighteousgo over the top as Ide keeps each plot point chillingly realistic... Ide's debutIQshowed what a skillful writer he is.Righteouselevates the author--and his characters--to a new level."—Oline Cogdill,The Associated Press
"Ide's sense of humor, his effervescent dialogue, and his knack for moments of emotion [are] all still present here, terrific news for readers."—Charles Finch,USA Today
"Joe Ide made many fans with his first book, which starred the young black PI Isaiah Quintabe. Its follow-up, in which "IQ" digs into the 10-year-old killing of his older brother, will no doubt earn Mr. Ide many more followers."—Wall Street Journal
"He's the real deal."—Carl Hiaasen
"Call it what you will--ungraphic manga, comedy noir--butIQ,Joe Ide's debut featuring Isaiah Quintabe, was definitely original. . . .Righteous, the second IQ novel, is every bit as solid and smart as the first. . . . Ide writes wild dialogue, creates totally original characters and makes me laugh out loud at two in the morning. What more can you ask?"—Margaret Cannon,The Globe and Mail [Canada]
"Outstanding . . . Ide again makes his hero's deductive brilliance plausible, while presenting an emotionally engaging story that doesn't shy away from presenting the bleakest aspects of humanity."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Brilliantly executed . . . Deftly weaving the search for Marcus's killer with various escapades in Vegas, Ide employs a clever mixing of time lines that will keep readers guessing until the explosive, bloody denouement. A winning combination of skillful writing and flawless pacing, this second series outing is packed with adrenaline-inducing scenes along with a colorful cast of violent and treacherous villains."—Library Journal (starred review)
"Righteousis action packed, cerebral and altogether engaging, and I predict a long string of follow-up novels in this fine series."—Bruce Tierney,Bookpage

"Ide's
debut,IQ,was
one
of
last
year's
best
crime
novels,
and
he
follows
it
with
another
scorcher.
.
.
.
Like
the
great
Thomas
Perry,
Ide
manages
to
combine
light
and
dark
in
wholly
unpredictable
ways,
blending
comic
capering
with
real-life
bloodletting
in
a
manner
that
diminishes
neither
and
taps
a
vein
of
deep
emotion
lurking
amid
the
laugh
lines
and
spurts
of
violence.
Anyone
who
loves
Perry
or
Timothy
Hallinan
needs
to
hop
on
Ide's
bandwagon
while
there's
still
room
to
sit."
