Publisher Description

Jane Whitefield is a name to be whispered like a prayer—a shadow woman who rescues the helpless and the hunted when their enemies leave them no place to hide. Now, with the bone-deep cunning of her Native American forebears, she arranges a vanishing act for Pete Hatcher, a Las Vegas gambling executive. It should be a piece of cake, but she doesn't yet know about Earl and Linda—professional destroyers who will cash in if Hatcher dies, killers who love to kill...slowly. From Las Vegas to upstate New York to the Rockies, the race between predator and prey slowly narrows until at last they share an intimacy broken only by death.

"Jane decides to settle down to married life, and she is happy to do so. She just has to tie up some loose ends first, because she accidentally messed up a getaway for one of her clients. Because she has to check in a lot with the new hubby to reassure him, she also leaves some clues behind, which makes it less easier for her and her client to hide and get away. I found Carey a little less likeable in this book, and Jane tended to be a bit stupid in love, but the ends were tied up nicely in this one, making you think maybe Jane really can give up being a guide after all."

    " the chase and the thrilling are as reliably excellent as ever, but i was seriously annoyed by the representation of jane's and carey's marriage. i hoped for a twist that would indicate the absurdity of it, and maybe jane's and carey's side adventures, with their romantic frisson, are that, but i doubt it. perry seems dead serious when he represents jane as wanting a fully dedicated domestic marriage. that this is the novel's weak point is indicated also by perry's failure to resolve it (dramatically, not thematically) at the end. bah. this gets graded down on poor handling of the romantic theme. i wouldn't want to MEET carey, let alone be married to him. he's a non character. i hope jane drops him pronto, or he her. just as long as he goes goes goes.
