Rating: 3 (1 reviews)
Author: Thomas Perry

After spending two decades safeguarding victims on the run and surviving a violent assignment, former cop Jane McKinnon—formerly Whitefield—settles into a quiet suburban life in Amherst, New York. Her peace shatters when the eight female leaders of the Seneca tribe arrive at her home in black cars, and her childhood friend Jimmy, who fled after being accused of murdering a white man, is on the run. The clan mothers enlist Jane to retrace a sixteen‑year‑old trail she once shared with Jimmy, hoping to uncover where he has hidden. As Jane follows the path, she discovers that the police are not the only ones seeking Jimmy—and that the danger to her—and to all who know him—has grown deeper than she imagined.
