Jus Mama Mariam Fixit (IQ, 6) by Joe Ide

In the latest installment in Joe Ide’s and “superb and ” series ( Washington Post ), the relentless, hard-bitten PI, Isaiah Quintabe, is faced with a nightmarish scenario when the love of his life is kidnapped by a maniacal hitman who bears a grudge against him.Danger has always followed IQ, a reality he’s keenly aware of as he’s laid up in a hospital bed, recovering from injuries sustained in his last case. Isaiah cannot help himself from being the hero, and any misery he’s suffered as a result–wounds from a knife fight, gnawing paranoia–he’s suffered alone.
