Ilustration Toward Books Vanishing Act (Jane Whitefield #1)

Jane Whitefield is a Native American guide who leads people out of the wilderness--not the tree-filled variety but the kind created by enemies who want you dead. She is in the one-woman business of helping the desperate disappear. Thanks to her membership in the Wolf Clan of the Seneca tribe, she can fool any pursuer, cover any trail, and then provide her clients with new identities, complete with authentic paperwork. Jane knows all the tricks, ancient and modern; in fact, she has invented several of them herself. So she is only mildly surprised to find an intruder waiting for her when she returns home one day. An ex-cop suspected of embezzling, John Felker wants Jane to do for him what she did for his buddy Harry Kemple: make him vanish. But as Jane opens a door out of the world for Felker, she walks into a trap that will take all her heritage and cunning to escape....

Evaluate Containing Books Vanishing Act (Jane Whitefield #1)

This is my first Thomas Perry novel. It will not be my last.I am not usually enamored of female protagonists in crime thriller fiction. I'm in love with Jane Whitfield, though. Half Seneca, she has chosen to be a tribal member and acts accordingly. She has the ability to imagine how her ancestors, who inhabited the upstate New York area she lives in, were able to live and prosper before the coming of the Europeans.She makes a living by helping people vanish. A career, she stumbled into when she

Four and a half stars. Jane Whitefield is Native American and she makes people disappear. Not thorough magic, but through wile and guile. She doesn't take money for her efforts but accepts gifts and doesn't hide people who are running from the law. A man is waiting for in her house, having defeated Jane's alarm system, telling her he needs to hide. The story reveals interesting history and stories of the Native Americans of the northeast while never losing any of its thriller edge. Highly

This is the first Thomas Perry book I've read, and I really liked it. It took me a little bit to get into it because I had just finished a western book and I kept thinking I was reading that book. I think it's because the MC, Jane Whitefield, is Native American, and she tells a lot of the history of tribes and it just sounded too familiar. I can't say I was "confused" but I definitely wish I'd read it farther apart from when I read my western. I like that our heroine is one of those kick-ass

An excellent female protagonist is the focus of this first in a series by Thomas Perry. Jane Whitefield belongs to a network of guides who help people disappear when they are threatened by the very powerful or unscrupulous. It's a premise that can carry on for many interesting books I hope. This one was set around Lake Ontario and I loved following the action everywhere it led. The complex plotting and pursuit are definitely worthy of the author of The Butcher's Boy.



I've been engrossed in a number of series involving strong Native-American women and their mysticism, from the Hillerman's, Margaret Coel or even Craig Johnson, but this is the first that dealt with one from an East Coast, woodland tribe...Jane Whitefield, of the Seneca, is a "Rock Your World" heroine who runs kind of a "private" Witness Protection Program for people who want to disappear...In the first of the series, someone has "hacked' into her pipeline and some of her contacts have been

Humm...I'm often a little reticent when I'm not fond of a book. I considered going 3 stars on this one but I finally decided that my feelings were a little more negative than positive... I decided just now as it was something that happened at the end of the book that decided me. It's a device I'v seen used probably thousands of times with/about heroes/protagonists in books, movies and TV and it pretty much drives me crazy each time. I'll note it under a spoiler warning at the end of the review.
