This is the second book in the very compelling Jane Whitefield series. I have read several of the books in this series and have enjoyed them a lot. I put off reading this one because I thought I had lost my copy of it, but, lo and behold, it finally turned up in our garage where I think it was lost for several years behind one of my boxes full of books to be read.

Jane Whitefield is a Native-American Seneca guide who leads people to a new life when they deserve a second chance and are being sought by others. She knows how to cover her tracks and provide her clients with new identities to start a new life. But in this one, Jane sees two of the protectors of a young boy killed before she could stop the tragedy. The boy was an heir to a fortune and had been missing and was going to be declared dead so the fortune could be distributed to charities as designated in the boy's grandmother's will. But was the money properly accounted for or has someone been siphoning off these funds. And why would they want the boy dead? And then there is Mary Perkins who had stolen millions from the Savings and Loan industry. She seeks out Jane's help to disappear when she tells Jane that she is being pursued by someone after the money she may have taken. So how do the two cases relate? A very despicable bad guy, a former cop who runs a security agency is after both the boy and Mary. Can Jane successfully take them out of harm's way?

Glad I was finally able to read this entry in the series. It was a very intense thriller that I found hard to put down. The characters were very well written and I always enjoy Jane's association with the Senecas and her use of Native American skills to provide sanctuary for her clients. I have a couple more books in this series to read that I'll definitely be looking forward to.
