ABOUT
THIS BOOK
"COMPELLING . . . NOBODY WRITES A CHASE BETTER THAN PERRY."
-The Washington Post Book World
When eight-year-old Timothy
Decker finds his parents brutally murdered, it's clear the Deckers
weren't the intended victims: Timothy's own room--ransacked, all
traces of his existence expertly obliterated. Timothy's nanny, Mona, is certain about only one thing.
Timmy needs to disappear, fast. Only Jane Whitefield, a Native
American "guide" who specializes in making victims vanish,
can lead him to safety. But diverting Jane's attention is Mary
Perkins, a desperate woman with fraud in her past. Stalking
Mary is a ruthless predator determined to find her and the
fortune she claims she doesn't have. Jane quickly creates a new
life for Mary and jumps back on Timmy's case . . . not knowing
that the two are fatefully linked to one calculating killer. .

"Spellbinding . . . Terrific . . . Jane Whitefield may
be the most arresting protagonist in the 90s thriller arena. .
. . Thrillers need good villains, and this one has a formidable
SOB who is cold-blooded enough to satisfy anybody's taste." -Entertainment Weekly
"A terse thriller . . . Perry
starts the story with a bang." -San Francisco Chronicle
