This is a start of a series book by Thomas Perry--I really like several of his books that I have read. This is an older book, published in 1995 and you notice it--no cell phones and the main character uses public pay phones several times throughout the book. She also buys newspapers and searches the ads several times as well, just funny because that is just not done anymore. The main character, Jane Whitefield, is a person that helps other people disappear, people that need to get away and stay away for their own safety--bad marriage, mob after them--that sort of thing. A guy comes to her with a story & he is being followed & they have to leave ASAP. Getting away and how she develops new personas for the people is interesting but I could tell something wasn't quite right and this guy was a bad guy tracking down someone she helped disappear in the past. He finds & kills that guy & Jane now has to track this bad guy down & get him. Some big leaps of faith in her abilities, throw in some NE Native American stuff--almost mystical, makes parts of the book hard to buy but still a good page turner at least.
I have posted it on PBS, this is only copy in system so hopefully will move at some point.
