Meet Jonathan Quinn: a freelance operative with a take-no-
prisoners style and the heart of a loner. His job?
Professional “cleaner.” Nothing too violent, just
disposing of bodies, doing a little cleanup if
necessary. But in Brett Battles’s electrifying debut
novel, Quinn’s latest assignment will change everything,
igniting a harrowing journey of violence, betrayal, and
revenge.
The job seemed simple enough:
investigating a suspicious case of arson. But when a dead
body turns up where it doesn’t belong–and Quinn’s handlers
at “the Office” turn strangely silent–he knows he’s in
over his head. With only a handful of clues, Quinn
scrambles for cover, struggling to find out why someone
wants him dead . . . and if it’s linked to a larger
attempt to wipe out the Office.
The
Cleaner
Quinn’s only hope may be Orlando, a
woman from his past who’s reluctant to help but who may
hold the key to solving the case. Suddenly the two are
prying into old crimes, crisscrossing continents,
struggling to stay alive long enough to unbury the
truth. But as the hunt intensifies, Quinn is stunned by
what he uncovers: a chilling secret . . . and a
brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy–with an almost
unimaginable goal.
