JONATHAN QUINN'S WORK COMES AFTER THE CRIME. BUT NOW THE CRIME'S COMING AFTER HIM.
Quinn is a freelancer working for 'the Office', a shadowy criminal organisation. His job is to clean up crime scenes - dispose of bodies, wipe away prints - anything to help them get away with it.
His latest job seems simple enough: investigate a suspicious case of arson. Until the moment a dead body turns up where it doesn't belong, and Quinn's Office handlers go strangely silent.
The Office is under threat, and someone wants him dead.
And if Quinn can't figure out what's going on from only a handful of clues, he'll never clean another crime scene.
He'll be the crime scene.

Brett Battles lives and writes in Los Angeles. The Cleaner is his debut novel, and he has recently delivered his second Jonathan Quinn novel, The Deceived, which will be published by Preface in 2008. He is currently at work on his third book in the Jonathan Quinn series.
