Love at first fight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
In the first few pages, Jane disables a very large bad guy in an elevator. He grabs her ankle as she exits (He's 'lying down.'). She says to him, "Think about it. Do you really want me alone with you in that elevator?" He lets go. I'm in love.Nobody outsmarts, outfights, or outlasts bad guys like Seneca adventurer Jane Whitefield. The first three books in Perry's wonderful series--Vanishing Act, Dance for the Dead, and this one--are the only books that can stand comparison to Tony Hillerman's "Navajo mysteries." And in some ways, Perry is the better writer. Don't miss these books.
Incredible plot, amazing details, one of the best in series

This was my first Thomas Perry novel, and what an initiation! I can't recommend his novels enough, and I thought this one was incredibly well done. As far as intricacy of plot goes, I think this and the first one, vanishing Act, were the best ones. The way he interweaves Jane and the runner's interaction with one of the stalkers at the same as Cary's interaction with the other one, is brilliant. It will keep you breathless til the very last page. And seriously hoping that Jane won't quit!
Thomas Perry's usual FANTASTIC "Cliff Hanger" writing.

I am always intrigued by Thomas Perry's "Jane Whitefield" novels. "Shadow Woman", as with other "Whitefield" novels, never ceases to amaze me with the "training to survive" she provides to her clients. This particular novel was somewhat different in that she also became the "prey" as opposed to simply the "protector for the hunted". I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed all of Thomas Perry's "Jane Whitefield" novels. I am looking forward to reading "The Face Changers".Keep up the "intriguing writings" Thamas Perry.
Excellent dream imagery

I really enjoyed this book. It is the first one in the series that I have read. I am going to purchase the previous Whitefield books to catch up. I also Recommend Virginia Lanier's Bloodhound books. Very strong female protagonist.
