Isaiah Quintabe—a young, unlicensed detective from East Long Beach—and his masterful sidekick, Juanell Dodson find themselves at a crossroads in this latest installment of the IQ mystery series. Author Joe Ide is a crime writer’s crime writer, and he’s filled his best novel yet with desperate souls, courageous outcasts, and truly evil villains. With deft plotting, lacerating humor, and a keen eye for the ways in which characters rise or fall based on their ties to one another, Smoke is Joe Ide’s crowning achievement.
