Description
In Fixit, the sixth explosive entry in Joe Ide’s acclaimed IQ series, underground detective Isaiah Quintabe is barely out of a harrowing Northern California case—and barely holding himself together—when the call comes: Grace is missing. The kidnapper leaves a calling card Isaiah can’t ignore: a spike-studded dog collar that points to Skip Hanson, a sadistic hitman with a long, personal score to settle. Making matters worse, Manzo Gutiérrez, a fallen gang leader who blames Isaiah for the implosion of his empire, is hunting him, too.
What follows is a breathless chase across deserts and city streets: an abandoned motel in San Bernardino County, a botched assassination of a celebrity attorney, a cartel pipeline running through Pacoima—and a quiet animal shelter where everything erupts. With friends scraping together a ransom, cops circling, and Isaiah’s PTSD clawing back into his life, the case transforms into a raw fight for love, survival, and a way to live with the consequences.
Fixit marries hurtling plot with fierce heart: a story about loyalty, trauma, and the cost of trying to do the right thing when the world won’t let you.
