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, Quinnβs latest job is different. A friend and old colleague has been murdered. A woman has gone missing. And for Jonathan Quinn, this time itβs personal.
Anonymity. Trust. Professionalism. In his world, Jonathan Quinn has a few rules. Heβll 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, itβs clear his rules have been violated. Inside the crate is a dead manβa man who once saved Quinnβs life. And while no one knows how CIA agent Steven Markoff died, Quinn has to do more than clean. He has to find Markoffβs girlfriend, Jenny. To tell her that Markoff is dead. To find out whyβand why someone sent Markoffβs 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 isnβt 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, whoβs saved his life more than once.
Racing from the corridors of power in Washington to the bustling streets of Singapore, Quinn wonβt stop until he uncovers the truth behind his friendβs violent death, the astounding reason Jenny has vanishedβand what she knows about the most explosive deception of all.
