The Deceived

The explosive follow up to The Cleaner takes Jonathan Quinn to Singapore - and in a deadly race to find the truth.

As a professional 'cleaner', Jonathan Quinn disposes of bodies and ties up loose ends. Doesn't get his hands dirty, no wet work. But when he discovers he's been hired to vanish all traces of Steven Markoff, one of his best friends who just happened to work for the CIA, his job suddenly hits too close to home. This time, it's personal.

Bestselling author Brett Battles takes us on a brilliantly nerve-wracking journey in this hypnotically captivating espionage thriller, jam-packed with twists and turns and fascinating characters. Fans of Jason Bourne, James Bond or Jack Reacher will not be disappointed!
