The “black car” has appeared both conspicuously and inconspicuously throughout the annals of fiction—its presence both mysterious and menacing, its appearance enough to pause your heart. It’s the sedan just within sight that seems to be mimicking your speed and movements as you walk down the dark deserted street late at night. As the hairs rise on the back of your neck you wonder, Who is behind the wheel and what is the driver’s intent? It’s The Black Car Business and its presence means your life is about to abruptly change. You try to assure yourself there’s nothing wrong, but your pace quickens nonetheless, and soon you’re running, desperate for that narrow sliver between two buildings to slip through, the one too narrow for the black car to pass through. It’s that car parked just down the block that sends chills down your spine and keeps you awake throughout the night. It’s the sanctuary you race toward when you’re being chased, only to explode when you turn the key. It’s the one that skids off the icy mountain overpass and plunges into the cavernous grotto. It’s where Clemenza garrotes Carlo just as he’s about to be driven to the airport. It’s The Black Car Business. If The Black Car Business Volume 1 made you nervous Volume 2 will have you climbing the walls. Here are eleven fresh takes on that ominous black whip coming out of nowhere to stun and lay waste to your psyche. You may lose a few nights sleep but we promise it will be worth it.

Jonathan Quinn has had better years, but now most of the trouble is behind him, if not forgotten. There is one issue that remains unresolved-the break between him and his partner, Nate. Quinn has come to accept the only potential path to healing the wound is via the passage of time. The secret world has other ideas. Quinn and his girlfriend, Orlando, are hired for a new mission, but they must include on their team the operative who is one of the few to have ever seen the face of the job''s target. This operative is unknown to the client, but not to Quinn and Orlando. Now, to stop a plan that could slaughter tens of thousands of people, they must turn to the one person who wants nothing to do with them. If they can even find him in time.

A hard-bitten crew of professional thieves pull off the score of their lives, coming away with seven million in cash. Like any heist there are some unforeseen complications, and unfortunately they don''t get away without a few bodies dropping.

In this linked anthology, we follow each member of the crew of culprits as they go their separate ways after the heist, and watch as this perfect score ends up a perfect nightmare.

From USA Today best-selling 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.

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.

"The unthinkable has happened. A life has been extinguished--one belonging to someone Jonathan Quinn and his partner Nate care about more than almost anyone else in the world. Those responsible will pay. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far and wide the search, Quinn, Nate, and their colleagues will stop at nothing to exact the appropriate justice. Because if there is one thing those in the shadow world should know, you do not mess with Quinn''s people" -- summary from amazon.com

Rosario can acquire anything for anyone, but can she obtain freedom for herself when her latest assignment goes awry? Dylan''s sure his new gig will be a walk in the park--or rather, a drive, given that he''s a courier. Unfortunately, the road is a bit bumpier than he expected. Liesel is having the worst week of her life, and blames only herself. And Ricky? Well, Ricky doesn''t believe in bad weeks. Though he can''t claim being stuck in prison is all that great. Convenient for all of them, then, that a mysterious organization comes along asking for their help, and in return promises to reverse their excommunication from the secret world.

Even those who make bodies disappear for a living need a vacation. To Quinn and Orlando, the offer of a private villa on a quiet island beach sounds like heaven, and they jump at the chance for some family time with their six-month old daughter and Orlando''s teenage son. At first it seems as though their holiday will be even better than they''d hoped. The water is warm, the house is beautiful, and the view is spectacular. But when revenge is in the air, things have a way of going sideways.

With the whole of human history altered, Denny Younger may be the last rewinder in existence-- and the last person on earth with a chaser unit capable of time travel. He''s caring for his ailing sister, trying to find a way to recharge his device, and being following by a mysterious stranger. When his chaser is stolen and his girlfriend is kidnapped, Denny is launched into a high-stakes chase that spans continents and millennia-- and may be responsible for steering the fate of the human race into disaster.

"Everything on the job is going as expected. The target has been dealt with, and all that''s left to do is remove the body. But a surprise is waiting for Quinn and Nate, one that completely changes their mission. Then when the client who gave them their new orders disappears, they find themselves on their own, with a human asset holding a dark secret that several parties are interested in obtaining, by force if necessary. To keep the asset alive, the two cleaners must stay on the run, but even that doesn''t guarantee success. Because no matter how closely a secret is guarded, if enough people want it, it won''t stay buried forever"--Page 4 of cover.

"Denny Younger is recruited by the mysterious Upjohn Institute to serve as an eyewitness to significant momets in human history, but when he time travels into the midst of a rebellion, he finds himself in over his head,"--Novelist.

(This novella was previously published as Flight 12: A Jonathan Quinn Thriller) 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.

Matt Hamilton''s last words have led Daniel Ash and his team to the snow-covered town of Everton, Vermont. On a field just outside city limits sits an unassuming hut. But this is no innocent building. Inside is the entrance to the secret Project Eden base known as Dream Sky, the key to the Project''s success. Or its defeat, as Ash hopes. To give the team the best chance to succeed, Resistance groups have moved into position outside Project installations around the globe. The purpose: to create diversions that will draw Project attention away from Dream Sky. These groups have been waiting for the signal to attack. The wait is over.

Most careers begin with an interview and a handshake. Others require a little ... something more.Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he''s one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he''s a twenty-two year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change.In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn''t the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it''s something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden--others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.Every identity has an origin. This is Quinn''s.

He thought his final assignment would be simple: Transport a package from Japan to Amsterdam. But for Orlando''s mentor, Abraham, the job was not at all like he expected and ended up haunting him. Seven years later, Quinn and Orlando know something is up when Abraham asks for a favor. At his age, he should be sitting on a beach, enjoying his retirement, not working. After he tells them of his search for the last package he ever delivered, they help him unravel the truth, but soon realize they can''t simply look for answers. They must also protect the package, no matter the cost. They just need to find it first.
