The Native American guide is hunted for her knowledge in this âtour de forceâ thriller from the New York Timesâbestselling author of Vanishing Act (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Jane Whitefield of the Seneca Nation has spent years helping desperate people disappear. But now she is about to become the hunted one. When James Shelby is unjustly convicted of his wifeâs murder, Jane spirits him out of the heavily guarded criminal court building in downtown Los Angeles. Then, within minutes, Jane is kidnapped. The person who killed Shelbyâs wife now wants him dead, and Janeâs captors will put her through excruciating torment to discover his whereabouts. Though Jane manages to escape, she is wounded and weak, thousands of miles from home without money or identification . . . and hunted by both police and criminals. Attempting to rejoin Shelby and get to safety, Jane is caught in a waking nightmare, as many of the pursuers she has eluded for years gather to bid on her capture in a multimillion-dollar auction. The winning bidder buys the chance to access Janeâs memory, and the locations of everyone she has helped disappear. âFans of Jane Whitefield know what to expect from this fearless Indian guide in Thomas Perryâs quick-witted capers: cunning strategies, clever disguises, ingenious escape tactics and breathtaking cross-country chases. Perry delivers to order in Poison Flower.â âMarilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
