Synopsis
The New York Times bestselling author &“blend[s] the frenetic pacing of a top-notch thriller with Native American mysticism&” in Jane Whitefield&’s return (Publishers Weekly). &“The world&’s foremost specialist in hiding fugitives from their pursuers is back with a vengeance&” in this &“high-potency thriller&” (Kirkus Reviews). For more than a decade, Jane Whitefield practiced her unusual profession: &“I&’m a guide . . . I show people how to go from places where somebody is trying to kill them to other places where nobody is.&” Then she promised her husband she would never work again, and settled in to live a happy, quiet life as Jane McKinnon, the wife of a surgeon in Amherst, New York. But when a bomb goes off in the middle of a hospital fundraiser, Jane finds herself face to face with the cause of the explosion: a young pregnant girl who has been tracked across the country by a team of guns-for-hire. That night, regardless of what she wants or the vow she&’s made to her husband, Jane must come back to transform one more victim into a runner. Her quest for safety sets in motion a mission that may be as much of a rescue operation as it is a chance for revenge. &“Readers who have been clamoring for the return of Thomas Perry&’s most popular heroine can stop waiting. After a nine-year absence, Jane Whitefield is back.&”—The Associated Press &“A first-class thriller and the welcome return of an outstanding series.&”—Booklist (starred review)
