The Silenced

A Novel

By: Brett Battles

Narrated by: Scott Brick

“A complex, action-packed international cat and mouse game.”—New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart

Professional “cleaner” Jonathan Quinn has a new client and an odd job: find and remove the remains of a body hidden twenty years ago inside the walls of a London building, before the building is demolished.

But Quinn and his team are being watched. Suddenly caught in the cross fire between two dangerous rivals, Quinn must unravel the identity of the body and why it still poses so great a threat even in death. Because a plot stretching from the former Soviet Union to Hong Kong, from Paris to London, from Los Angeles to Maine, is rapidly falling apart. And Quinn hasn’t been hired just to tie up loose ends—he is one.

“[Jonathan] Quinn is one part James Bond, one part Jason Bourne.” —Nashville Book Worm

These books are binge-worthy!

Very exciting read

This the the fifth book in this series that I have read in a row. I have lots of other books by authors that I have been reading for a while, but I can’t read them until I have tea all of the Jonathon Quinn novels to date. I need to know what happens next. This book continues the same kind of adventure and mystery that the previous books did. Keep up the great writing and I’ll keep reading.

This is a great listen!!!

Be sure to read the series. You will not be disappointed.

Kept me awake until finished.

It is hard for me to tell what is better, the story or the performance. This is one of the best narration I heard from Scott Brick.
The only problem with this series is that read a book in a weekend almost not sleeping until I finish!

Already downloading the next in the series.
