Jane Whitfield has retired from her work helping people disappear. These days she leads the life of a surgeon's wife in upper New York, volunteering at the hospital and living her life. But when the girl comes to her begging for help, Jane decides that maybe she needs to do one last job. The fact that there is an explosion at the hospital minutes later with the people searching for Christine responsible makes her decision a reality. She grabs Christine and off they go.
This will be a hard job. Christine is pregnant. Her boyfriend wants her back because his wealthy parent will cut him off unless he can produce a grandchild. Unfortunately, Christine also knows about his unlawful deals and can send him to jail if word gets out. He sends six people to track her down and bring her home. The six are professional finders and they make it clear early on that they will stop at nothing to bring Christine back. What they hadn't counted on was that Jane is just as determined and will whatever it takes to help Christine escape to a new life.
This is the sixth novel in the Jane Whitfield series. Thomas Perry is one of my favorite authors. His tight plotting and his knowledge of all the details that would have to be attended to in order for a person to escape their life is fascinating. Jane is an enigma; a woman who will stop at literally nothing in order to help those who must flee for their lives. What motivates her to put her life at such risk? How many times can she do this successfully? This book is recommended for thriller readers.
