The second in the Jane Whitefield series. The blurb says Jane can make you disappear so you can stay alive. She's a native American guide the patron saint of the pursued who speciaizes in making victims vanish. Calling on the ancient wisdom of the Seneca tribe and her own razor-sharp cunning, she conjures up new identifies for people with nowhere left to run. She's as quick and quiet as freshly fallen snow, and she covers a trail just as completely. But when a calculating killer stalks an innocent 8 year old boy Jane faces dangerous obstacles that will put her powers and her life to a terrifying test.

It's a nailbiter and I loved it.

Jane has helped many fugitives disappear and begin new lives under safe identities. But this time she must fight for the lives of two people who have lived under false identities for years.

Perry continues to develope the character of Jane in this second installment of the series. Again, it was fast paced, other characters well developed, and caught you up in the story line. This series is about retribution and if that's not your cup of tea, could strike you as too violent at times.

I liked the book, but some things don't seem really realistic - a little contrived.

Jane Whitefield is the kind of person I want to be/hope I could be/hope I am - and that I would hope to be in a crisis... So yep, I obviously enjoyed the book! The story once again takes us all over the place both geographically and emotionally and I knew things would work out in the end, but couldn't figure out how, so I stressed a bit towards the end. Highly recommend this book and can't wait to start reading the 3rd one!
