Attention all Jason Bourne, James Bond or Jack Reacher fans - this is the book for you! This is a thriller in every sense of the word, with double-backs and triple crosses galore. Add a razor sharp plot and you've got one hell of a ride!

******************************************************************
JONATHAN QUINN KEEPS PEOPLE'S SECRETS. NOW SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO UNCOVER HIS.
Professional 'cleaner' Jonathan Quinn's latest job is a strange one: find and remove the remains of a body hidden twenty 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 crossfire 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 just been hired to tie up loose ends - he is one.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Battles's perfunctory fourth thriller (after Shadow of Betrayal) falls short of the standard set by the first two entries in his series featuring operative Jonathan Quinn, who specializes in disposing of dead bodies and cleaning crime scenes so as to leave no evidence behind. Given his high personal standards and a conscience, Quinn works only for those he considers good guys, usually the darker departments of the U.S. government. When David Wills, a client based in London, gives Quinn and his team a series of jobs that requires them to clean up after assassinations, Quinn finds himself dealing with not only the requisite bodies but also another team of unknown origin that's bent on stopping the assassinations. As the jobs continue, Quinn begins to doubt Wills's motives. Hopefully, next time out Quinn will have a more exciting plot to tidy up after.
