Description
Jane Whitefield takes on the mafia-and its money-in this "downright dazzling" (The New York Times Book Review) crime thriller from the award-winning author of The Butcher's Boy.
"A terrifying ride . . . a terrific, pell-mell book."-Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Even before she heard the teenager's story, Jane Whitefield's Native American intuition whispered danger. For a year, Rita Shelford kept house for an old man in Florida. When he disappeared, other men came and tried to kill her. That was before she knew that her employer was the Mafia's brilliant moneyman, recently reported murdered. Now the mob suspects Rita of stealing the only record of a shady investment worth billions. Unless Jane, Rita's last hope, can spirit Rita into a new identity, she's a dead woman.
As the mafioso army converges on airports and hotels, highway and city streets, there seems to be no exit-except from life itself. . . .
