Town at the Edge of Darkness
From NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Brett Battles comes the second book in a spinoff series from his award-winning Jonathan Quinn thrillers.
Something’s happening in the small town of Bradbury. Something more sinister than the disappearance of the woman the Excoms have been sent to find.
Something only they can stop.
Ananke, Rosario, Dylan, Liesel, and Ricky have reassembled to undertake their second mission.
Seems easy enough: locate the missing woman and be on their way. But not even the mysterious Administrator who called them together could have predicted what the team would encounter.
Inhumanity comes in many forms. The Excoms despise them all.
See why New York Times best selling author James Rollins calls Brett Battles' writing "Addictive," and why Crimespree magazine says "Battles has a true gift for writing thrillers."

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.
