The Native American rescue artist goes back on the job in "another
excellently engineered thriller" from the New York Times–bestselling
mystery author (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review).
After two decades protecting innocent victims on the run, and a year
after getting shot on the job, Jane McKinnon, née Whitefield, has
settled into the quiet life of a suburban housewife in Amherst, New
York. But that all changes when she sees all eight female leaders of
the Tonawanda Seneca clan parked in her driveway in two black cars.
Jimmy, a childhood friend of Jane's from the reservation, has been
accused of murdering a local white man. But instead of turning himself
in, he's fled, and no one knows where he's hiding. At the clan
mothers' request, Jane retraces a walking trip she and Jimmy took
together when they were fourteen in hopes that he has gone the same
way again. But it turns out the police are the least of Jimmy's
problems, and soon enough Jimmy and Jane are on the run together in
this "first-rate suspense" novel from the Edgar Award–winning author
( Booklist, starred review). "Whitefield is an indelible
figure—whip-smart, resourceful, brave and big-hearted." — The
Seattle Times "Jane Whitefield is unique in the annals of detective
fiction. She is a throwback to a tribal world, still loyal to the
beliefs of the Seneca Indians and still adhering to the call of a lost
era. Thomas Perry has once again resurrected a remarkable character
who seems imbued with a strange immortality and an unusual morality,
and he is to be congratulated." — The Washington Times
