Jonathan Quinn, professional cleaner
The Deceived is definitely a thriller and Battles has no trouble keeping up the pace or making his book engaging. The main character, Jonathan Quinn, is a professional 'cleaner'. When Quinn is called about a dead body in a shipping container he is shocked to discover that the dead body is his friend Steven Markoff, a ex-CIA agent. Quinn now has to find Markoff's girlfriend Jenny in hopes of discovering why Markoff's body was sent to him and why he was killed. And what he finds along the way is quite surprising.

go quinn go
Just finished The Deceived. I also read The Cleaner. I like this one a lot better than the first. The pace of the book was tremendous as well as the locale of the overseas. The book leaves you guessing until the end. I also like the book is set perfectly up for the 3rd Quinn book that Battles is working on. I recommend it to anyone who likes spy novels.

An electrifying thriller
As a CIA Cleaner, Jonathan Quinn has only one restriction as he rids corpses that must vanish without a trace his one personal decree is to insure nothing can ever trace in even a remote way to him he must ¿disappear¿ once the job is done. His current assignment is to clean up the violation of his basic rule of survival. At a Los Angeles port, a shipping container arrives holding a special cargo inside is CIA agent Steven Markoff, who once saved his life. Quinn knows that besides cleaning the mess, he must inform Steve¿s girlfriend, Jenny Fuentes that he is dead and find who sent him this corpse as a special cryptic message. To Quinn¿s shock, Jenny is missing and many people want her to stay vanished, which means killing Quinn and his two cronies. Quinn and his buddies globetrot to Europe following clues that ultimately leads to what appears to be an international conspiracy focused out of Singapore. However, he needs to turn to additional underworld help to close in on his main adversary. At an incredible pace faster than the speed light in spite of stunning plausible twists, fans will relish this electrifying thriller that in many ways is more political than espionage (though some might say all espionage is political).------ Harriet Klausner
