I hadn’t read any of Perry’s books before, and just loved this one featuring Jane Whitefield. A Native American, Whitefield helps people disappear. When a man turns up at her house in upstate New York, she is her usual professional, suspicious self—characteristics that have made her a reliable connection in the shadowy network of victims, criminals, and all the others who need to start a new life quietly. She lets down her defenses, however, and too late realizes the man is not who or what he says. The plot takes us on an exciting journey as Whitefield uncovers the truth, which unfortunately leads her to the wilds of a desolated area of New York. Feeling a victim now herself, Whitefield turns to her Seneca skills and the woodcraft of her ancestors. Excellent read and I can’t wait to start on Perry’s other books.
