The Cleaner: Book 2
In the dangerous underworld where power and blood intertwine, Joel Carter, the silent and lethal Cleaner, is thrust into a new and even more deadly game. After surviving the chaos of the High Table's covert war, Joel now faces the most dangerous enemy yet-one within. A young Elder, hungry for change, is threatening to dismantle the ancient order that has long kept the balance of power intact.
With his deadly skill set, Joel is called to eliminate the rats-the freelancers who dare to challenge the system. But as the shadows grow darker, the line between loyalty and betrayal begins to blur. The game is changing, and those who once ruled from the shadows are starting to question their very foundation. As wars rise within and around the High Table, Joel finds himself torn between upholding his orders and protecting the only family he has left.
Amidst the violence, intrigue, and betrayals, Joel is not alone. Riona, a retired fellow Cleaner, resurfaces, offering help but also pushing Joel into a dangerous new world where allies are as deadly as enemies. Together, they uncover secrets buried deep within the High Table's hierarchy-secrets that could change everything.
With relentless action, brutal combat, and an unyielding fight for survival, Joel must navigate a labyrinth of power plays, broken rules, and past ghosts. But in the world of the High Table, even those with the greatest power may not know who their true enemies are.
