Jane Whitefield&;the fierce and resourceful heroine of Thomas Perry's most popular thrillers&;returns from retirement to guide a fugitive out of danger. For more than a decade, Jane Whitefield pursued her unusual profession: &;I&;m 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 guns-for-hire. That night, regardless of what she wants or the vow she&;s made to her husband, Jane must come back to transform one more victim into a runner. Her quest for safety sets in motion a mission that may be as much of a rescue operation as it is a chance for revenge.
