Publisher's summary

Professional “cleaner” Jonathan Quinn has a new client and an odd job: Find and remove the remains of a body hidden 20 years ago inside the walls of a London building, before the building is demolished.

But Quinn and his team are being watched. Suddenly caught in the cross fire between two dangerous rivals, Quinn must unravel the identity of the body and why it still poses so great a threat even in death. Because a plot stretching from the former Soviet Union to Hong Kong, from Paris to London, from Los Angeles to Maine, is rapidly falling apart. And Quinn hasn’t been hired just to tie up loose ends - he is one.

Excellent As Usual

Fast paced and full of good and bad guys who learn to finally get to know that working together saves a sister and ends the bad guys. Quinn really cleans up.

Best one yet!

I may say this every time, but I loved this book. Seeing a different side of Quinn was new and refreshing, and watching his worlds come together was definitely a surprise!

Not to mention the story... great storyline and delivery!

Globetrotting Jonathan Quinn

Book 11 in the Jonathan Quinn series titled The Aggrieved will be released in audio format with Scott Brick narrating on October 10, 2017. The Kindle ebook version was released on June 6, 2017. I read it and it is superb. Now I look forward to hearing Scott Brick's narration.

The Silenced is Book 4 in the Quinn series and was released in 2011. All Quinn series novels, indeed all of Brett Battles novels, are in my Audible library. The plot starts with Quinn the cleaner being hired to remove a body in an old London building scheduled for demolition. It is likely the most complex novel in the Quinn series as Quinn is caught between 2 powerful rivals.

Scott Brick does it again!!!

A good book that's not narrated by a good narrator can be difficult to get through. I will listen to a book just because Scott Brick is the narrator. I also stop listening to a series if the narrator is bad or mediocre.

Battles and Brick

Awesome combo author and narrator. They make Quinn come alive. Quinn. Nate, and Orlando are a great team. These protagonists face danger and still work incredibly well together. They have an odd profession that takes them all over the world in clandestine shadowy places
In this story we got some of Quinn's background involving family members and saw a softer side of him
Non stop action and intrigue kept me glued to the story.
Check out the series
