RIGHTEOUS IQ, Book 2

This follow-up to Jones's award-winning title, IQ, once again features protagonist Isaiah Quintabe. This time, IQ may have taken on one too many thugs as he tries to solve his brother's murder and save the sister of the woman his brother loved. Narrator Sullivan Jones, reprising his role as IQ, consequently takes on every manner of thug himself: Mexican street gang members, loan sharks and their heavies, Rwandan drug dealers, and Chinese hit men. The various players become increasingly entangled, keeping both IQ and his narrator busy. But no worries: Both rise from the chaos triumphant. At the end of the story, the author signals new adventures ahead for IQ. Let's hope Jones will be the one delivering them. K.W.
