A Favorite Character Reappears

Jane Whitefield is back!

Author Thomas Perry won the Edgar Award for The Butcher’s Boy, and Metzer’s Dog was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, but my favorite books of his are those he wrote as a series featuring his character Jane Whitefield: Vanishing Act, The Face Changers, Shadow Woman, and Dance for the Dead.

In the last book, Jane marries and, after one last adventure, retires from helping people disappear from dangerous situations and scary people. I was delighted to see that Perry has a new Jane Whitefield novel, Runner, bringing Jane back after nine years of a quiet life. I look forward to reading it and telling you about it.
