Publisher’s Summary

His business card says he’s a lawyer, but disillusioned defense attorney Kelly Henderson knows what he really is–a janitor. His job is to clean up other people’s messes. Rich and powerful people whose sexual indiscretions need to be put to bed, so to speak. Kelly accepts who is, just eking out a living, when he takes the case of a presidential candidate whose people will do anything–including murder–to wipe his slate clean. From Hollywood back lots to porn sets, from polo grounds to billionaire’s estates, Kelly maneuvers through a scorched California moral landscape as he tries, for the first time in a long time, to do the right thing and clean up his own life.

Listen to The Janitor and find out why Stephen King has called Don Winslow’s writing “the finest crime fiction I’ve read in twenty years.”

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “Good short story “
I liked the narrator. His voice was sexy.
The story kept me interested from beginning to end, meaning there wasn’t a lot of fluff; just a good story with some twists and turns but everything moved quickly.

— Mandana, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Wonderful twists “
Noir at its best
Thank you so much, Don Winslow, for writing it.
Also, great length for a “snack,” instead of a “full meal.”

— Michael, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “The Janitor “
Well written story, engaging and never a dull moment. Titus Weller as the reader is awesome. Kept picturing the main character as Bosch. I hope there are more books read by Weller as his voice adds value to the story.
