Recensione:
Nominated for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel
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 (Michael Connelly)
succeeds in being both highly original and continuing the spirit of Conan Doyle... it will be fascinating to see which details from his inspiration the writer adopts. (Mark Lawson THE GUARDIAN)
CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH: full of humour, originality and high-quality writing. (THE TIMES)
This is one of the most remarkable debuts I've read...Deliciously quirky, written with exceptional panache and a fine ear for dialogue, it introduces the world to an LA private detective who might just become the Holmes of the 21st century (Daily Mail)
This debut novel offers an original twist on the idea of the Sherlockian super-sleuth.. This is terrific fun, a classic crime formula with a cool comtempory feel. (SUNDAY EXPRESS)
Sherlock Holmes meets The Wire (GRAZIA)
One of the Best Books of 2016 according to the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New York Times Book Review and Amazon.com
[IQ] kicks off what is apt to be a madly lovable new detective series about this smart guy and the vibrantly drawn criminal culture that surrounds him . . . Ide packs a lot of action and scenery into the book's investigation scenes. But he has also built and bolstered Isaiah as a fine, durable character (New York Times)
One of the most original thrillers of the year . . . [A] sometimes scary, often whimsical, off-the-wall delight . . . It's a mad world that late-blooming Joe Ide has brought forth from his past, a spicy mix of urban horror, youthful striving and show-business absurdity. His IQ is an original and welcome creation (Washington Post)
