The Cleaner, which introduced hero Jonathan Quinn.
A freelance operative and professional "cleaner," Quinn
knows better than to get emotionally involved in any of
his jobs. But in this superb powerhouse of suspense,
Quinn’s latest job is different. A friend and old
colleague has been murdered. A woman has gone missing. And
for Jonathan Quinn, this time it’s
personal.
Anonymity. Trust. Professionalism.
In his world, Jonathan Quinn has a few rules. He’ll get
rid of bodies that have to disappear; nothing ever gets
traced back to him. But when Quinn is called to a busy Los
Angeles port where a shipping container has just come in
from the sea, it’s clear his rules have been violated.
Inside the crate is a dead man—a man who once saved
Quinn’s life. And while no one knows how CIA agent Steven
Markoff died, Quinn has to do more than clean. He has to
find Markoff’s girlfriend, Jenny. To tell her that Markoff
is dead. To find out why—and why someone sent Markoff’s
body to him.
Until a week ago, Jenny Fuentes was an
assistant to an ambitious congressman. Now Jenny is
missing, too, and a lot of man power is making sure she
isn’t found. But Quinn has his own man power. He has tools
that can pry into secrets held anywhere in the world. He
has the skill to trade blows with killers and spies. And
he has covert weapons: his eager and smart apprentice,
Nate, and brilliant Orlando, his closest friend, who’s
saved his life more than once.
Racing from the
corridors of power in Washington to the bustling streets
of Singapore, Quinn won’t stop until he uncovers the truth
behind his friend’s violent death, the astounding reason
Jenny has vanished—and what she knows about the most
explosive deception of all.
