Blood Money
Jane Whitefield takes on the mafia--and its money--in this "downright dazzling" (The New York Times Book Review) crime thriller from the award-winning author of The Butcher's Boy.
"A terrifying ride . . . a terrific, pell-mell book."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Even before she heard the teenager's story, Jane Whitefield's Native American intuition whispered danger. For a year, Rita Shelford kept house for an old man in Florida. When he disappeared, other men came and tried to kill her. That was before she knew that her employer was the Mafia's brilliant moneyman, recently reported murdered. Now the mob suspects Rita of stealing the only record of a shady investment worth billions. Unless Jane, Rita's last hope, can spirit Rita into a new identity, she's a dead woman. As the mafioso army converges on airports and hotels, highway and city streets, there seems to be no exit--except from life itself. . . .

Praise for this book
"Brilliant . . . Buy it: I guarantee you'll be up all night."--Los Angeles Times "Downright dazzling . . . The little voice that promises adventure and danger in Thomas Perry's hide-and-seek thrillers sends out another irresistible summons in Blood Money."--The New York Times Book Review "It didn't take long before I was hooked, totally immersed in the life of Jane Whitefield. . . . The plot takes one unexpected turn after another."--Austin American Statesman "A terrifying ride . . . No one is better at the literary equivalent of a road movie than Thomas Perry, and Blood Money shows perfectly all his many strengths. . . . A terrific, pell-mell book."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune "A delicious treat . . . Perry has a knack for creating memorable characters, but where he really shines is in his breathlessly paced and beautifully streamlined plots."--The Seattle Times "[This series] just keeps getting better. . . . Perry has created a very strong and likable protagonist who continues to evolve as a human being. An interesting plot backed by good writing, intriguing characters, and realistic dialogue makes Blood Money a winner."--San Francisco Examiner
