Synopsis

In the tradition of popular female sleuths like Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone and Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski, Thomas Perry presents his new novel, featuring Native American heroine Jane Whitefield. Perry's previous novel, Vanishing Act, has been optioned for a film.

About this title

From the Publisher:

One of the reasons that I love Thomas Perry's Jane Whitfield books is that they are filled with so much arcane information about the darker side of life. Perry fills you in on how to fabricate a life, steal a car, or set up a bank account using someone else's Social Security Number. This is why I read books. I am way too much of a nice girl to find these things out on my own. Jane Whitfield is a nice girl with an edge. A Native American from Upstate New York, Jane takes people with problems and helps them to disappear. She gets them out of trouble and sets them up in a new life. In DANCE FOR THE DEAD, Jane rescues two "clients," a small boy whose millionaire parents have been killed and a woman accused of embezzlement. Perry's account of how the two cases intertwine and the mechanics of it all is truly fascinating.
