8-25-07 The Cleaner by Brett Battles

5 - This is an excellent thriller. Packed with action, "The Cleaner" moves quickly and pulls the plot piece by piece into a satisfying end. The story of a cleaner (if you've ever seen a Mob movie, you know what he does) who is suddenly a target himself. The cleaner, Quinn, and his apprentice Nate go on the run while trying to figure out who put the hit on Quinn. As they get deeper into the shit, a woman from Quinn's past agrees to help them. Likable characters and great plot progression make this a fantastic read.
