IQ is back - and working a case that involves juggling many more personalities than he expected.

Hi Five Zusammenfassung

Hi Five: An electrifying combination of Holmesian mystery and SoCal grit Joe Ide

'THE BEST NEW DISCOVERY I'VE COME ACROSS IN A LONG TIME' Michael Connelly
'WRITING SO SHARP YOU MAY CUT YOUR FINGERS ON THE PAGES' Attica Locke
'THE HOTTEST OF RECENTLY-EMERGED CRIME WRITERS' New York Times
'ONE OF THE HOTTEST MYSTERY NOVELISTS AT WORK' Washington Post
'IDE WRITES WITH CONFIDENCE AND A SHARP WIT' Sunday Times
'THE HOLMES OF THE 21ST CENTURY' Daily Mail

Christiana is the daughter of the biggest arms dealer on the West Coast, Angus Byrne. She's also the sole witness and number-one suspect in the murder of her boyfriend - found dead inside her Newport Beach boutique. Angus will do anything to save his daughter and he thinks private eye Isaiah Quintabe is just the man for the job - an offer IQ soon learns he can't refuse.

The catch: Christiana has multiple personalities. Five radically different ones - among them, a naive shopkeeper, an obnoxious drummer in a rock band and a wanton seductress.

IQ's dilemma: no one personality saw the entire incident. To find out what really happened the night of the murder, Isaiah must piece together clues from each of the personalities - before the cops catch up.

Hi Five Bewertungen

Savor the freshness, vividness and ingenuity of the author's prose... Hit men, henchmen, bagmen - they all wander in and out of a highly diverting book that crackles with life and vividness. * New York Times *
Engrossing... The author is skilled at developing the humanity of every character, regardless of their perspective. It's a hallmark of Ide's evolving style that allows Hi Five to stand on its own for first-time readers, even as the series deepens longtime fans' engagement... High Five succeeds on so many fronts as it sets IQ and the series' characters on an uncertain path down darker roads. * Los Angeles Times *
Stellar... Readers will root for Ide's distinctive lead every step of the way. This innovative series continues to show promise for a long, high-quality run. * Publishers Weekly (starred) *
Usually, Ide walks the thin line between light and dark, playing off moments of caper-novel hilarity against outbursts of violence and the angst of misfired relationships, but this time angst wins by TKO. No matter. Ide goes dark with the skill of a noir master, leaving Isaiah in a very bad place and the reader gasping for breath. A stunning change of pace from one of crime fiction's new stars. * Booklist (starred) *

Über Joe Ide
