Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Jane Whitefield, legendary half-Indian shadow guide who spirits hunted people away from certain death, has never had a client like Dr. Richard Dahlman. A famous plastic surgeon who has dedicated his life to healing, the good doctor hasn't a clue why stalkers are out for his blood. But he knows Jane Whitefield's name--and that she is his only hope.
Amazon.com Review:
Jane Whitefield, Thomas Perry's Native American 'guide,' has recently married Dr. Carey McKinnon and is now retired from helping people disappear from danger. But when her husband's old mentor, a world-famous plastic surgeon wanted by the police for a murder he didn't commit, turns up in Carey's emergency room, Jane steps back into the shadowy world of runners and hunters one more time. In this fourth outing in Edgar-winning Perry's fascinating and innovative series, Jane discovers that someone else is using her name and reputation to take fugitives out of the world, but for very different, and diabolical, purposes. Whitefield's Seneca heritage, plus her unique talents, make her a novel and compelling heroine, and Perry's masterful storytelling makes the most of Whitefield in this suspenseful page-turner. --Jane Adams

Jane Whitefield, half-Seneca "guide" who takes in hand those who, for various reasons, need to disappear, and finds ways for them to escape into the cracks in American society, is naturally secretive about her occupation. Those who need to find her do it through rumour and word-of-mouth. But now someone else presenting herself as "Jane" seems to be encroaching on her territory -- and fleecing the helpless, and often killing them as well. One of these, a renowned surgeon who trained Jane's new husband, has been set up and didn't quite make it to Jane's door before being wounded by the police, and Carey -- who got his wife to promise she would give up the guide business -- has asked her to help his old teacher, to do what she's so good at just one last time. Jane takes on the job not only for him but because she has to save her own semi-secret reputation -- only this time, the FBI is also involved. This fourth novel in the series is rather better than the last two, showcasing the author's knack for constructing an intriguing and believable back-story and introducing Special Agent Marshall, a thinking man's Fed, whom I think is likely to show up again.

Thomas Perry is a fine writer and his novels are very well-constructed. I think the conceit of an Indian woman who knows how to make people in danger 'disappear' is clever, and his explanations of just how she does it are always interesting and believable. Jane Whitfield is not, however, an entirely believable character. She is just too good: she is never petty or venal or self-indulgent or anything but wise, judicious, strong and virtuous. Thomas Perry makes up for that with his intelligent prose, intricate plotting and his wit. Altogether worth reading.

Native American (she's part Seneca) Jane Whitefield has stopped guiding people in danger to safe locations because of a promise she made her new husband Dr. Carey McKinnon. She'd spent the better part of a decade helping those in danger disappear and take on new lives, getting them new papers and teaching them how to stay hidden, now she's finished with that. Or is she?
Now it's her husband of all people who wants her to get back in the saddle and take up her dangerous work once more. His mentor, a famous plastic surgeon, is close to making a medical break though, but he's wanted for a murder he didn't commit. While helping him Jane learns that a group of face-changers are using her name, techniques and underground reputation to prey on innocents in trouble and destroy their lives rather than save them. Jane has to unmask them and put them out of business before they harm anyone else.

I didn't think it possible, but with each new Jane Whitefield book, Thomas Perry creates an even more frightening and exciting scenario than in the previous book. The characters are always fleshed out and believable. Mr. Perry is always worth the time you spend reading his works.
Rated by buyers -
I've read all of the Jane Whitefield novels so far and this is the very first one I found just a bit tedious. However, that said, Perry is still a better mystery writer than 90% of the authors of this genre. My feeling was the book went on a little too long. I like, and have always liked, the utter competence of Jane Whitefield. There doesn't seem to be much that fazes her or puts her off her stride. Not a bad book but the others in this series are just a little tighter and more suspenseful
