Jane Whitefield inadvertently becomes the target of two professional assassins in this “compelling [and] truly frightening” (Chicago Tribune) thriller from the award-winning author of The Butcher’s Boy.
“[Thomas] Perry keeps the screws turned until the final page; suspense novels don’t get much more suspenseful.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
Jane Whitefield is a name to be whispered like a prayer. A shadow woman who rescues the helpless and the hunted when their enemies leave them no place to hide. Now with the bone-deep cunning of her Native American forebears, she arranges a vanishing act for Pete Hatcher, a Las Vegas gambling executive. It should be a piece of cake, but she doesn’t yet know about Earl and Linda—professional destroyers who will cash in if Hatcher dies, killers who love to kill . . . slowly. From Vegas to upstate New York to the Rockies, the race between predator and prey slowly narrows until at last they share an intimacy broken only by death. . . .
