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.
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.
