Another decent entry in the Jane Whitefield series about the part Native American guide who helps people obtain new identities and a new life. In this one, Jane helps a young woman, Rita, who is on the run from members of the mafia. Rita was the maid for an old man in Florida who turns out kept track of the mob's money in his head. The man, Bernie the Elephant, was reported murdered and the mob suspects Rita of possibly having knowledge of Bernie's records which could be worth billions. But is Bernie really dead? Jane must help Rita evade the mob and obtain a new identity. Along the way she agrees to a plan to dispose of the billions that have accumulated in Bernie's accounts over the last 50 years which would really put a dent in the assets of the major crime families in the country.

This is the fifth novel in the Whitefield series and was a real thriller, as usual. Jane must travel the country trying to avoid the mafia's army that it has posted at airports, hotels, highways, and city streets while she tries to make a new life for Rita. I did enjoy this one for the most part, however, I thought the story didn't focus enough on Jane's Native American skills and instead spent too much time describing the doings of the mafia thugs in pursuit of her. Mild recommendation overall.
