Publisher Comments:

Jane WhitefieldNew York Times best-selling writer Thomas Perrys most popular characterreturns from retirement to the world of the runner, guiding fugitives out of danger.

After a nine-year absence, the fiercely resourceful Native American guide JaneWhitefield is back, in the latest superb thriller by award-winning author Thomas Perry.

For more than a decade, Jane pursued her unusual profession: “Im a guide . . . I show people how to go from places where somebody is trying to kill them to other places where nobody is.”Then she promised her husband she would never work again, and settled in to live a happy, quiet life as Jane McKinnon, the wife of a surgeon in Amherst, New York. But when a bomb goes off in the middle of a hospital fundraiser, Jane finds herself face to face with the cause of the explosion: a young pregnant girl who has been tracked across the country by a team of hired hunters.That night, regardless of what she wants or the vow shes made to her husband, Jane must come back to transform one more victim into a runner. And her quest for safety sets in motion a mission that will be a rescue operationor a chance for revenge.

Runner is Thomas Perry at the top of his form.

Review:

Praise for Thomas Perry

 

“Thomas Perry is, quite simply, brilliant. And as each book comes out he becomes more so.”Robert B. Parker

 

“Nobody writes thrillers like Thomas Perry . . . His books are unpredictable, action-packed, and fueled by a cynical wit and observant eye for detail.”San Francisco Chronicle

 

“Perry is so skillful with the old chase-and-pursuit routine, creates such interesting characters, and writes about them so tellingly, one wants more immediately, not next yearright now.”Boston Globe

This book is well written and a fast read. It is about a character named Jane who helped "runners", or people who were running for their lives. Jane quit the business nine years earlier and now is back in the game.
