Brett Battles is the author of three international spy thrillers in his Jonathan Quinn series. Not long ago, I reviewed his latest, Shadow of Betrayal. As soon as I started reading it, I knew this was a series my husband would like, so I gave him the book. He’s now going back to start from the beginning of the series, with The Cleaner. The second in the series, The Deceived, won the Barry Award for Best Thriller of 2008.
The protagonist, Jonathan Quinn, is a “professional Cleaner.” If you’re wondering exactly what a professional Cleaner is, come back tomorrow. Brett will be here answering a few questions – and that’s one of them.
You can find out more about Brett and his books on his website. He’s also part of the co-op blog, Muderati. He posts there every other Thursday. And if you like suspense short stories, you can find him in the anthology called Killer Year.
But most importantly, come back tomorrow to talk to him or ask a question of your own (I have five for him to get things started).

I will check it out. Typical book for the boys, is it? Looks like women and men often like different types of books. That's the way it is in our family at least >:)

Cold As Heaven, as luck would have it, my husband and I have similar tastes. We both like thrillers. I tend to branch out more and read mysteries, romance, nonfiction, etc. He pretty much sticks with thrillers or police procedurals.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mason. See you tomorrow.
Looking forward to tomorrow's interview. I always enjoy it when an author shares their writing story ...
ReplyDeleteI read the reviews at Barnes and Noble.com. SOunds like my kind of book. I'll tune in tomorrow.

Sounds like fun! And I'm assuming the Cleaner isn't going to do my laundry or my windows... :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to learning what a professional cleaner is. I already have a couple of choices in mind. Maybe one is correct. Or not.
ReplyDeleteNope, Jemi, not gonna clean your laundry or windows.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back to see what he says!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love thrillers, too. Thanks for introducing us to a new author.

ReplyDeleteLook forward to meeting Brett tomorrow. I know what a cleaner is, but I won't spoil the surprise for tomorrow. Keep 'em guessing. LOL
ReplyDeleteI thought I knew what a cleaner was too, Maryann, but his definition was different from mine. We'll see if it matches yours.
ReplyDeleteI thought I knew what a cleaner was, too, but now I'm thinking I might be wrong. I'll be back tomorrow to find out.
ReplyDeletelooking forward to tomorrow's post :)
ReplyDeleteJust what I need. Another thriller author I will fall in love with. Stop giving me good recommendations for reading material. LOL And I'll be back tomorrow to read what a 'cleaner' is.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I'm finding so many new authors!
ReplyDeleteVery, very, very cool. I see there are still yet more books to add to my TBR list. Will come back tomorrow and check out the interview. Thanks, Helen!
