The Cleaner

De: Brett Battles

Narrado por: Scott Brick

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. But in Brett Battles’s electrifying debut novel, Quinn’s latest assignment will change everything.

The job seemed simple enough: investigating a suspicious case of arson. But when a dead body turns up–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 struggls 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 may hold the key to solving the case. Suddenly the two are prying into old crimes, crisscrossing continents, and struggling to stay alive. But as the hunt intensifies, Quinn is stunned by a chilling secret . . . and a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy.

Furiously paced, filled with superbly drawn characters and pitch-perfect dialogue, THE CLEANER confirms Battles’s place as one of the most exciting new talents in suspense fiction.

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first book I listened to by Scott Brick and will not be the last; enjoyed it

Excellent

This story was really good. Don't want to give any surprises away. But there was a lot of surprises. Had you sitting on the edge of your seat saying what's going to happen now.

Great Story....BUT, with a hearty recommendation!

Before I started this highly recommended Jonathan Quinn series, I decided to listen to Brett Battle's novella, Becoming Quinn, first. The decision made the first book of his series even more exciting. I'm hooked, and I know you will be too! Try it. You might just like it...a lot!

Excellent Series!!

I’m enjoying this series very much. Quinn is a great character with interesting stories and lots of suspense.

Refreshing

Really good story. Not really great but Scott Brick brought it to a great book
