*********************************************
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.

Jonathan Quinn knows where the bodies are buried. Someone wants to add him to the pile. Cracking first thriller, introducing Jonathan Quinn, a freelance operator who 'cleans' up for anyone who is prepared to pay him enough, but this time finds himself and the shadowy organisation for which he works, the target of all the violence.
