"Thomas Perry just keeps getting better," said Tony Hillerman, about
Sleeping Dogs--and in this superb new novel by one of America's best
thriller writers, Jane Whitefield takes on the mafia, and its money.
Jane Whitefield, the fearless "guide" who helps people in trouble
disappear, make victims vanish, has just begun her quiet new life as
Mrs. Carey McKinnon, when she is called upon again, to face her toughest
opponents yet. Jane must try to save a young girl fleeing a deadly
mafioso. Yet the deceptively simple task of hiding a girl propels Jane
into the center of horrific events, and pairs her with Bernie the
Elephant, the mafia's man with the money. Bernie has a photographic
memory, and in order to undo an evil that has been growing for half a
century, he and Jane engineer the biggest theft of all time, stealing
billions from hidden mafia accounts and donating the money to charity.
Heart-stopping pace, fine writing, and mesmerizing characters combine in
Blood Money to make it the best novel yet by the writer called "one
of America's finest storytellers,"(San Francisco Examiner).
