The undercover group LP has assigned "cleaner" Jonathan
Quinn, along with his protégé, Nate, the job of locating
Marion Dupuis, a U.N. aide worker who's missing from war-
ravaged Africa along with a 5-year-old girl she's secretly
abducted from an orphanage there. But there seems to be
more to this assignment than is being told, and Quinn isn't
sure he can fully trust LP. He fears there's a hidden
agenda he's not privy to -- and it could cost many people
their lives. How right he is!
As Quinn, Nate and Orlando (Quinn's colleague and lover)
pursue Marion across Canada and the U.S., they also find
themselves fighting to stay alive. What is so important
about the child abductions of special children that have
been taking place? The answer is more chilling than anyone
could ever imagine. And it's up to Quinn, Nate and Orlando
to uncover the truth and exact justice.
Brett Battles again gives readers a fast-paced and
chilling thriller with smart characters in a plotline so
riveting and suspenseful you won't put it down until the
last page is turned. I've been a fan of Battles and his
hero Quinn since his first book, THE CLEANER, and I can't
wait for the next awesome adventure featuring Quinn, Nate
and Orlando.
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.
