Dance for the Dead

Jane Whitefield fights to save two very different people from a terrifying, cunning murderer in this “terse thriller” (San Francisco Chronicle) from the award-winning author of The Butcher’s Boy.

“Compelling . . . Nobody writes a chase better than [Thomas] Perry.”—The Washington Post Book World

Jane Whitefield is the patron saint of the pursued, a Native American “guide” who specializes in making victims vanish. Calling on the ancient wisdom of the Seneca tribe and her own razor-sharp cunning, she conjures up new identities for people with nowhere left to run. She’s as quick and quiet as freshly fallen snow, and she covers a trail just as completely. But when a calculating killer stalks an innocent eight-year-old boy, Jane faces dangerous obstacles that will put her powers—and her life—to a terrifying test. . . .
