The Silenced - Paperback

by Brett Battles (Author)

"A complex, action-packed international cat and mouse game."--New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart

Professional "cleaner" Jonathan Quinn has a new client and an odd job: 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 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.

" Jonathan] Quinn is one part James Bond, one part Jason Bourne." --Nashville Book Worm
