Night Man

The Night Man Chronicles #1 / 3
by Brett Battles
Night Man (The Night Man Chronicles #1) by Brett Battles
Unrated

NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Brett Battles delivers one of the year's most riveting high-stakes crime thrillers.

Looking the other way in the face of injustice is not an option for Nate. Sure, he’d love to relax between missions from his day job as a seasoned espionage operative, but Nate is not your typical agent, and some things just can’t be ignored.

A news story about the hit and run accident of a woman in Jenson California catches his attention. And as much as he’d like to stay home and relax, he’s compelled to investigate.

His instincts are right. Soon he discovers a hidden world of crime and violence, of exploitation and murder.

Putting an end to this evil will require all the skills he's learned working in the espionage world—and his unique brand of vigilante justice.

If you enjoy action-packed crime thrillers with high-stakes suspense, surprising plot-twists, and a cast full of unforgettable characters, then join millions of fans who love Battles’ novels and start devouring your next great read NIGHT MAN now!

Brett Battles

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.
