Night Work

Jonathan Quinn #8.5 / 17
by Brett Battles
Night Work (Jonathan Quinn #8.5) by Brett Battles
Unrated

From USA Today best selling author Brett Battles comes the exciting Jonathan Quinn novella Night Work.

Jonathan Quinn and his team thought they were done for the night. The body they’d been hired to make disappear had been dealt with exactly to the required specifications, so, by all rights, they should have been at the airport, catching their flights home.

But a last minute call puts a crimp into their plans. Another assignment has come up, one that must be dealt with immediately, and will prove considerably more difficult than the last as they are not the only ones who’ve come for the corpse.

An already long night dealing with the dead is just about to get a little longer.

Brett Battles

Brett Battles crafts thrillers that don’t just chase the next plot twist—they explore the shadows where espionage, identity, and morality intertwine. Growing up in Southern California, he found his storytelling voice early, convincing his sixth-grade teacher to let the whole class dive into his short stories. That early spark evolved into a writing career spanning over forty novels, with characters and plots that grip readers with their complexity and emotional depth.

His debut introduced Jonathan Quinn, a freelance operative navigating a perilous world of secrets, setting a tone that defines Battles’ work: sharp, layered, and relentless. Awards like the Barry for Best Thriller followed, but it’s his ability to weave intricate narratives with human vulnerability that resonates most. Beyond the Quinn series, his storytelling branches into the Project Eden thrillers, the Rewinder trilogy’s inventive sci-fi twist, and collaborations that expand his reach.

Influenced by writers like Ludlum and King, Battles balances adrenaline-pumping action with thoughtful exploration of trust and betrayal. Now based in Ventura County, California, he continues to write stories where every revelation feels earned, and danger lurks just beneath the surface—pulling readers into a world that’s as thrilling as it is real.
