She's Jane Whitefield, a refreshing switch from the now familiar female-as-private-investigator. The heroine of Dance for the Dead, Jane is quiet and elusive, a Native American guide familiar with ancient ways and savvy in the most modern ways of spiriting people away, the very qualities you'd want in someone who's helping you become invisible to your enemies. Jane is trying to help two friends escort eight-year-old Timothy across the country before someone very nasty ends his young life. A few major complications later, Jane finds herself at the airport, where she is approached by an attractive woman named Mary Perkins, a woman frantic to elude men who are following her.
Initially there is no apparent connection between Timothy and Mary, but soon it becomes evident that the same malevolent organization is pursuing both of them.
Mary has managed to stash a lot of money-as in millions of dollars that she amassed in a series of white-collar scams. She details her shady dealings during the last decade, when Savings & Loans made prodigious loans to nearly anybody who called himself-or herself-a "developer."
