PRAISE FOR THE IQ NOVELS: "Joe Ide's IQ novels are an electrifying combination of Holmesian mystery and SoCal grit."-- Time, "This is one gritty-to-the-core novel, as clever as a Sherlock Holmes tale, and a rollercoaster thrill ride the entire way through."-- Kate Ayers , Bookreporter, "This is one gritty-to-the-core novel, as clever as a Sherlock Holmes tale, and a rollercoaster thrill ride the entire way through."-- Bookreporter, Every character has great lines, and the descriptions alone make the story worth reading.... There is tension, violence, humor, and a bit of sadness, with romance just out of the hero's reach. This one's witty, clever, and fun, and it's worthy of the great Raymond Chandler."-- Kirkus, Starred Review, "The talented Joe Ide... manifests Marlowe in the form of a present-day private investigator.... The laugh-out-loud dialogue, the vivid similes, the complicated story and the set-piece subplots are all vintage Chandler. The gripping flashbacks, the adrenaline-pumping action and the heart-piercing poignance show Mr. Ide at his best. 'The Goodbye Coast' delivers the distilled essence of both authors for the price of one." -- Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal, Ide (the IQ series) reimagines Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled sleuth, Philip Marlowe, as a contemporary PI... Ide's fans will appreciate the humor and evocative descriptions of L.A ."-- Publishers Weekly, "instead of emulating Chandler's stylized first-person point of view, Ide used his trademark propulsive third-person narrative, entering the heads of multiple characters, including Marlowe's father, Emmet, an aging LAPD officer, and Cody, a client's missing teenage daughter. The prose is pure Ide, infused with whip-smart dialogue and fast-moving scenes throughout iconic Southern California hangouts."-- Naomi Hirahara , The OC Register, "If you haven't yet read Joe Ide's imagining of Philip Marlowe in "The Goodbye Coast," you ought to."-- Mike Lupica, New York Daily News, "With deft precision and the knowledge of a lifelong L.A. resident, Ide effortlessly inhabits the Marlowe character. Just as Chandler before him, Ide paints a gritty picture of contemporary L.A. and its inhabitants, while also allowing the reader to understand why a character like Marlowe tries so hard to fight back against those darker forces." -- Seth Combs , San Diego Union-Tribune, "Raymond Chandler may have inspired him, but this Phillip Marlowe is all Joe Ide. I loved this sexy, twisted, complicated Marlowe--he's a perfect match for Ide's sexy, twisted, complicated City of Angels. What a gripping kick-ass book!"-- Rachel Howzell Hall, bestselling author of These Toxic Things and Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist

Synopsis
In this colorful reinvention of a classic, Philip Marlowe finds himself tangled in two missing persons cases; "Ide has chiseled off the rust while keeping the soul of one of American fiction's icons." (Dennis Lehane) The seductive and relentless figure of Raymond Chandler's detective, Philip Marlowe, is vividly re-imagined in present-day Los Angeles. Here is a city of scheming Malibu actresses, ruthless gang members, virulent inequality, and washed-out police. Acclaimed and award-winning novelist Joe Ide imagines a Marlowe very much of our time: he's a quiet, lonely, and remarkably capable and confident private detective, though he lives beneath the shadow of his father, a once-decorated LAPD homicide detective, famous throughout the city, who's given in to drink after the death of Marlowe's mother. Marlowe, against his better judgement, accepts two missing person cases, the first a daughter of a faded, tyrannical Hollywood starlet, and the second, a British child stolen from his mother by his father. At the center of The Goodbye Coast is Marlowe's troubled and confounding relationship with his father, a son who despises yet respects his dad, and a dad who's unable to hide his bitter disappointment with his grown boy. Steeped in the richly detailed ethnic neighborhoods of modern LA, Ide's The Goodbye Coast is a bold recreation that is viciously funny, ingeniously plotted, and surprisingly tender., In this colorful reinvention of a classic, Philip Marlowe finds himself tangled in two missing persons cases; "Ide has chiseled off the rust while keeping the soul of one of American fiction's icons" (Dennis Lehane).

    Item arrived as described. Seller took great care to ensure packaging was sufficient to protect hard covers in shipping. Greatly appreciate their flexibility with accepting my offers. Books condition, value and quality are all excellent. Seller assured cancelation and refund but had to contact back because they continued to process and NOT refund or cancel.

    I'm sorry, but there was no mention of a cancellation and refund. You were sent the five like new books at the prices we agreed to so this has got to be a mistake. Thanks and take care.

    Thank you for your kind words. Apparently, because you have a tendency to leave negative feedback and shred every seller on here, jordanseveryday, eBay has limited your ability to disparage sellers anymore. When you bought this card on 4/15 eBay gave you a delivery date of 4/24 (arriving early, by the way) so I have no clue why you are this angry. If you are a buyer looking to do business with us, please contact me for a copy of this buyer's messages and you will see true lunacy.
