Attention all Jason Bourne, James Bond or Jack Reacher fans - this is the book for you! This is a thriller in every sense of the word, with double-backs and triple crosses galore. Add a razor sharp plot and you've got one hell of a ride!

******************************************************************

JONATHAN QUINN KEEPS PEOPLE'S SECRETS. NOW SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO UNCOVER HIS.

Professional 'cleaner' Jonathan Quinn's latest job is a strange one: 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 crossfire 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 just been hired to tie up loose ends - he is one.

Reviews

The Silenced, a complex, action-packed international cat and mouse game, will be catnip for thriller readers. Old and new fans will rejoice that Jonathan Quinn is back in the game -- sharper, more dangerous, and more human than ever

—— New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart

The Silenced is a thriller in every sense of the word, full of double-backs and triple crosses, linked by a story that moves like a fuse and characters the reader genuinely cares about. It's Battles' best book yet

—— Timothy Hallinan, author of the Poke Rafferty Bangkok Thrillers

A gripping read. The plot grabs you and won't let go. Quinn is as cool as ever

—— Meg Gardiner, author of THE LIAR'S LULLABY

Action-packed and dripping with tension, Jonathan Quinn is ready to join Gabriel Allon and Mitch Rapp in the pantheon of elite spy thriller characters. Battles is only getting better, and The Silenced is the best Quinn yet

—— Jason Pinter, bestselling author of THE MARK and THE FURY

His plots are ingenious

—— Times Literary Supplement

A master of detective fiction

—— Daily Telegraph

If you like your YA witch stories with a difference then I suggest picking up a copy The Circle... [I'm]excited for the next one.

—— Totally Bookalicious

The most interesting book to come out of Sweden this year, and it’s not another crime thriller!

—— fabruary8

[I] enjoyed it so much I can thoroughly recommend this quite superb tale, and urge all to go out and order a copy today. I can’t wait for the second installment.

This was definitely a brilliant book, that is well worth taking the time to invest in and read.

—— Serendipity Reviews

Tense and full of dramatic twists and turns, I look forward to seeing what is next for the witches in part two which is called Fire

—— MeMyBooksandI

Witches are the new black. This is the first in a best-selling Swedish trilogy and it's one you will not want to miss out on... An epic holiday read, it's got a fantastical, interwoven narrative that is just what you need to take you all the from the airport departure lounge to a shady spot beside the pool.

This book was one of those that I just couldn’t put down, and despite its size I found it to be a really quick read. The characters were all so different and yet still fit together in their own way, and I was truly shocked by some of the events. I loved the fact that the book wasn’t too teenage despite taking place in a high school, as the characters have genuine problems to overcome with each trying to find their own way to cope with their powers. A great read, I’m really looking forward to book two!
