Too bad she also comes with the baggage of a persistent ex-boyfriend intent on retribution. As Stone skillfully dodges each disturbance, it becomes clear that there’s an even more treacherous game being played behind the scenes. When long-standing grudges resurface, Stone is brought back into the orbit of some familiar enemies. He must use all of his tricks — as well as those of a few old friends — to evade trouble before it’s too late. But this time, danger just might catch up with him.
Анонимност. Доверие. Професионализъм. В света на Джонатан Куин има някои правила. Той ще отстрани труповете, които трябва да изчезнат; нищо не може да бъде проследено обратно до него. Но когато Куин е повикан в оживено пристанище на Лос Анджелис, на което току-що е пристигнал контейнер, става очевидно, че правилата му са нарушени. В контейнера има труп — на човека, спасил навремето живота на Куин. И макар никой да не знае как е умрял бившият агент на ЦРУ Стивън Марков, Куин трябва да се заеме с нещо повече от почистване. Трябва да намери Джени, приятелката на Стивън. Да й каже, че Марков е мъртъв. Да разбере защо е умрял. И защо някой праща трупа му точно на него…
Джонатан Куин е агент на свободна практика, който не взима пленници и има сърце на самотник. Неговата работа? Професионален „чистач“. Нищо кой знае колко страшно — отстраняване на трупове и почистване, ако е нужно. Обаче последната задача на Куин ще промени всичко, разпалвайки опустошително насилие, предателства и отмъщения. Работата изглежда фасулска: разследване на подозрителен пожар. Но един труп изскача там, където не му е мястото, а шефовете на Куин от Офиса странно се умълчават, и той разбира, че е затънал до гуша. Куин трябва да се скрие, за да разбере защо някой иска смъртта му…
