In this sixth installment in the critically acclaimed and beloved
series, IQ must rescue Grace from a maniacal hitman who bears a
bone-deep grudge against him
Isaiah Quintabe's first love, Grace, has been kidnapped 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. Isaiah and his sometimes partner, ex-hustler
Juanell Dodson, together again, must track scant clues through L.A.'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. This latest series
installment is an explosive collision of larger-than-life characters,
shotguns, vicious dogs, stampeding horses, and Ide's signature energy,
grit, and profundity.
