The Jonathan Quinn Box Set
(2017)(A book in the Jonathan Quinn Thriller series)
An omnibus of novels by Brett Battles
From USA Today best selling author Brett Battles comes the first box set of his award winning Jonathan Quinn series, the Jonathan Quinn Origin box set.
This box set collects the novel Becoming Quinn, the story of how Jonathan Quinn went from being a young police officer named Jake Oliver to starting down the road of becoming the best body removal expert in the business of secrets and spies; five short stories - three featuring Quinn, and two featuring his future partner/girlfriend Orlando - that tell tales of their time as apprentices and of Quinn then working on his own; and the novella Night Work, detailing an evening when a single job of cleaning turns into a multiple body affair.
Becoming Quinn
Most careers begin with an interview and a handshake. Others require a little ... something more. Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a twenty-two year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found - and the fire isn't the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden - others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.
Every identity has an origin. This is Quinn's.
Lesson Plan
Jonathan Quinn knows every job Durrie takes him on is a learning opportunity. He's just not always a fan of his mentor's methods - especially so when they can get him killed. The only bright spot of this particular assignment? The girl pointing a gun at his forehead.
Quick Study
It's an easy job - get in, grab the information, and get out. That's how Orlando's mentor Abraham characterized it. But she's about to find out things are rarely easy in the world of secrets, and that this is one mission she will never forget.
The Assignment
The first rule of being an apprentice: Do what you're told. When Orlando receives her new assignment, she thinks she's in for an easy day. But the simple chauffeur job she assumes she is on, is not so simple, after all.
Just Another Job
Not everyone who gets shot is supposed to be shot. And those who are shot don't always die right away. It's not Quinn's job to kill people, but it is his job to clean them up. Sometimes, though, they're not quite ready to go.
Off the Clock
A warning: Don't mess with Quinn's friends. If you do, he'll find out. And when he finds out, he'll find you. No matter who you are.
No matter where you go. Because even when Quinn's off the clock, there's work to be done.
Night Work
Jonathan Quinn and his team thought they were done for the night. The body they'd been hired to make disappear had been dealt with exactly to the required specifications, so, by all rights, they should have been at the airport, catching their flights home.
But a last minute call puts a crimp into their plans. Another assignment has come up, one that must be dealt with immediately, and will prove considerably more difficult than the last as they are not the only ones who've come for the corpse.
An already long night dealing with the dead is just about to get a little longer.
