Another Jonathan Quinn, the cleaner! A fast-pace, action packed read that made the pages fly. Espionage, murder, conspiracy and Quinn’s team! Recommended. ( )

May have rushed into publication a bit too quickly. That or a new proof reader is required!
"...except for the exception."

Ouch

And plot bits from past book (won't spoil anything)are brought up and reiterated and angst-ed over ad nauseum... OK, OK, we get it!!

I'm done w/this series. ( )

Quinn and his small but deadly crew of Nate, his protege, and Orlando, his lover as well as an assassin, follow Marion's trail from Montreal, to Washington, D.C., to New York and ultimately to the desert and coast of California. Along the way, old nemeses reappear and, as usual, politics in Washington get in the way. Who is stealing developmentally disabled children and why? What is that shadowy organization, LP, doing in the center of things? Who is playing and manipulating whom in this thriller that contains mysteries within mysteries? It all leads to a diabolically evil plot that many readers may find disturbing in its callousness. Suffice it to say that Quinn and Orlando are not people you want chasing you or seeking vengeance against you...yet they have become people that the reader will come to care for. I strongly recommend this novel as well as the entire series. ( )
