It was so terrific to be reacquainted with Jane Whitefield! It's so nice to visit with old friends, no? This particular novel seemed to have a more convoluted plot than others, but that could be just my memory [failing]. Jane thought she was out of the game, that she'd left her "runners" in order to devote herself to hearth & home, family (quite extended) and husband. Not so. Good thing she didn't have time to get too rusty. Somehow, Jane's husband "gets it" when she leaves for weeks at a time. I'm not sure I needed quite so much detail re clambering over a roof, despite fear, and other such things. (In fact, later, Jane goes leaping about high up almost willy-nilly, which is much more satisfying.) Despite the complicated plot and excess detail, Jane and Violet are as wonderful as ever. Minor Spoiler Here--When Jane learns that her hubby is in a bit of trouble (despite all her teaching, his ethics/morals wouldn't let him run out on patients in need or tell the lie that would have bought him time), Jane--hold onto your seat--does not go running to his side!!! She actually assumes her husband is a competent adult and that he can deal with trouble until she's finished doing what has to be done at her end. Jane Whitefiled rocks!

This was a really unusual thriller that I really enjoyed. This is actually the 4th in the series of Jane Whitefield novels -- I'll need to find the others in the series. Jane Whitefield is a legendary half-Indian (Seneca) shadow guide who spirits hunted people away from certain death... In this one she is trying to save the life of a prominent doctor who was framed for the murder of one of his colleagues after performing plastic surgery on a man who disappears. A group of baddies are using Jane's MO to con people into giving up their wealth. I found Jane to be a great protagonist and enjoyed how she uses her native American mentality to stay steps ahead of her pursuers. I would give this one a high recommendation!
