The Night Man Chronicles #2 / 3
by Brett Battles
Insidious (The Night Man Chronicles #2) by Brett Battles
Unrated

New York Times bestselling author Brett Battles returns with Nate and Jar in an action-packed mystery crime thriller that will keep you captivated until the very last page.

That way, the voice says.

It’s such a simple request that Nate doesn’t think twice about turning down the path Liz suggests. But when he finds the body, he realizes he should have known better. Liz has the habit of pointing him toward those who need his help, even if they are no longer living.

His deceased girlfriend isn’t the only one pushing him to solve the dead woman’s murder. After his best friend Jar discovers the woman’s true identity, she insists they need to investigate. Nate is not as sure. The police are on the case, after all, and if he and Jar intervene, they would only get in the way.

But when more dead bodies begin stacking up, it becomes clear Nate and Jar are the only ones who can unravel the devious plot behind the young woman’s murder, and the trail of death meant to cover it up.

If you enjoy action-packed crime thrillers with high-stakes suspense, surprising plot-twists, and a cast full of unforgettable characters, then join legions of avid fans who have fallen under Battles' spell and seize your opportunity to devour INSIDIOUS 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.
