The meeting place was carefully chosen: an abandoned
church in rural Ireland just after dark. For Jonathan
Quinn—a freelance operative and professional “cleaner”—the
job was only to observe. If his cleanup skills were
needed, it would mean things had gone horribly wrong. But
an assassin hidden in a tree assured just that. And
suddenly Quinn had four dead bodies to dispose of and one
astounding clue—to a mystery that is about to spin wildly
out of control. Three jobs, no questions.
That was the deal Quinn had struck with his client at the
Office. Unfortunately for him, Ireland was just the first.
Now Quinn, along with his colleague and girlfriend—the
lethal Orlando—has a new assignment touched off by the
killings in Ireland. Their quarry is a U.N. aide worker
named Marion Dupuis who has suddenly disappeared from her
assignment in war-torn Africa. When Quinn finally catches
a glimpse of her, she quickly flees, frantic and scared.
And not alone.
For Quinn the assignment has now
changed. Find Marion Dupuis, and the child she is
protecting, and keep them from harm. If it were only that
easy.
Soon Quinn and Orlando find themselves in a
bunker in the California hills, where Quinn will unearth a
horrifying plot that is about to reach stage critical for
a gathering of world leaders—and an act of terror more
cunning, and more insidious, than anyone can
guess.
Fast, smart, sleek, and stunning,Shadow of Betrayal is vintage Brett Battles: a
gritty, gripping masterpiece of suspense, a thriller that
makes the pulse pound—and stirs the heart as well.
