Hi Five
Autor Joe Ideen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2021
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 in her Newport Beach boutique. Isaiah Quintabe is coerced into taking the case to prove her innocence. If he can't, Angus will harm the brilliant PI's new girlfriend, ending her career.
The catch: Christiana has multiple personalities. Among them, a na ve, beautiful shopkeeper, an obnoxious drummer in a rock band, and a wanton seductress.
Isaiah'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 close in on him.

Recenzii
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.
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.
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.
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.
