Product Description

From Amazon.com

When her latest client, a Las Vegas gaming executive who has lost the trust of his criminally-connected bosses, asks for help, Jane Whitefield gets him out of town with a spectacular display of casino magic. Then she keeps her promise, gives up her dangerous trade, marries her loyal doctor, and settles down to live peacefully in upstate New York. As if. Fifty pages into Thomas Perry's third book about Whitefield--who uses a mixture of her Seneca ancestors' wisdom and a lot of modern muscle and computer smarts to make people in danger disappear--her client screws up. Jane's highly developed code of honor makes her leave her bridal bed to rescue him from an eerily psychotic Los Angeles couple who use everything from sex games to attack dogs to track him down. Previous paperbacks in this first-rate series are Vanishing Act and Dance for the Dead. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From Library Journal

In this third Jane Whitefield mystery, a part-Native woman engineers the "disappearance" of Peter Hatcher from his old life at Pleasure, Inc., a gambling casino. But the casino's honchos think Pete knows too much about their expansion plans and hire a brutally vicious hit team to find, and assassinate, him. The elements of the previous mysteries (Vanishing Act, Dance for the Dead) are here, but they don't work quite as well this time around. The chases are more predictable, and the lead characters a little too stilted, especially Jane, who plans to give up her "career" and disappear into marriage as the wife of physician/lover Carey McKinnon. Is this Whitefield's last outing? Perry's qualities as a novelist shine in such Elmore Leonard-esque thrillers as Metzger's Dog. For series fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blown Cover puts Jane Back on the Job, Oct 10 2003

By	Vesta Irene (the Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shadow Woman (Mass Market Paperback)

Native American (she's part Seneca) Jane Whitefield has stopped guiding people in danger to safe locations because of a promise she made her husband Dr. Carey McKinnon, who thinks what she does is much too dangerous. But Pete Hatcher, a Las Vegas casino executive she helped disappear because his bosses thought he was about to blow the whistle on their illegal activities, calls for help. His ex-employers have set an assassination team on his trail and he's made a couple of foolish mistakes that blew his cover. Jane feels responsible for him and goes on one last job, promising her husband this will the last one.

This thriller ranks right up there with all of Mr. Perry's fine books. Five stars from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!, Aug 11 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadow Woman (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed the first two books in the Jane Whitefield series, but this, the third, was even better. Jane has helped a client "disappear" and now she thinks she's going to stop helping people get away and settle down with her new husband. But the client, Pete, is being hunted by some very clever, very persistent bad guys, and Jane finds herself having to help him elude them yet again. Meanwhile, someone is trying to find Jane by getting to know her husband . . . It's a good book and Jane is a very likeable heroine. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love at first fight, May 9 2002

By	Mick McAllister - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Shadow Woman (Mass Market Paperback)

In the first few pages, Jane disables a very large bad guy in an elevator. He grabs her ankle as she exits (He's 'lying down.'). She says to him, "Think about it. Do you really want me alone with you in that elevator?" He lets go.

I'm in love.

Nobody outsmarts, outfights, or outlasts bad guys like Seneca adventurer Jane Whitefield. The first three books in Perry's wonderful series--Vanishing Act, Dance for the Dead, and this one--are the only books that can stand comparison to Tony Hillerman's "Navajo mysteries." And in some ways, Perry is the better writer. Don't miss these books.

Shadow Woman is the third Jane Whitefield novel, coming after the brilliant Vanishing Act and it's equally good follow-up Dance for the Dead. Read more
