"Another stunner from a modern master."—Booklist (Starred Review)
Rescue artist Jane Whitefield leads a deadly crime syndicate on a
wild chase through the Northeast Jane Whitefield helps people
disappear. Fearing for their lives, fleeing dangerous situations, her
clients come to her when they need to vanish completely—to assume a
new identity and establish a new life somewhere they won’t be found.
And when people are desperate enough to need her services, they come
to the old house in rural western New York where Jane was raised to
begin their escape. It’s there that, one spring night, Jane finds a
young woman fresh from LA with a whole lot of trouble behind her.
After she cheated on her boyfriend, he dragged her to the home of the
offending man and made her watch as he killed him. She testified
against the boyfriend, but a bribed jury acquitted him, and now he’s
free and trying to find and kill her. Jane agrees to help, and it soon
becomes clear that outsmarting the murderous boyfriend is not beyond
Jane’s skills. But the boyfriend has some new friends: members of a
Russian organized crime brotherhood. When they learn that Sara is
traveling with a tall, dark-haired woman who disappears people, the
Russians become increasingly interested in helping the boyfriend find
the duo. They’ve heard rumors that such a woman existed—and
believe that, if forcibly extracted, the knowledge she has of past
clients could be worth millions. Thus begins a bloodthirsty chase
that winds through the cities of the northeast before finally plunging
into Maine’s Hundred Mile Wilderness. But in a pursuit where nothing
can be trusted, one thing is certain: only one party—Jane or her
pursuers—will emerge alive.
