As a professional 'cleaner', Jonathan Quinn disposes of bodies and ties up loose ends - doesn't get his hands dirty.
But when he discovers he's been hired to vanish all traces of Steven Markoff, one of his best friends who just happened to work for the CIA, his job suddenly hits too close to home. This time, it's personal.

Racing from the corridors of power in Washington to the bustling streets of Singapore - along with his smart, eager apprentice Nate and brilliant Orlando, his closest friend who's saved his life more than once - events quickly spiral dangerously out of control...
