If you are Isaiah Quintabe - IQ to his friends - you'll do everything you can. The girl, an erratic DJ and gambling addict, has gone missing in Las Vegas - with a frightening loan shark, Chinese Triad gangsters, and her own deadbeat boyfriend hot on her tail. But IQ's search takes an unexpected turn when he meets a criminal mastermind who knows something about the murky circumstances surrounding his own brother's death . . . 'Witty and confident, with a bustling plot, this is a worthy follow-up to Ide's excellent debut' Guardian

Cristiana 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 in her Newport Beach boutique. IQ - Isaiah Quintabe - is coerced into taking the case to prove her innocence. If he can't, Angus will harm the PI's new girlfriend, ending her career. The catch: Christiana has multiple personalities. Isaiah's dilemma: no one personality saw the entire incident. -- adapted from jacket.
