Jane Whitefield, the ingenious Native American heroine of the celebrated novel "Vanishing Acts," returns in Dance for the Dead to pursue her unusual profession: she helps people disappear by creating new identities for them - identities that prevent them from being discovered by their enemies. But this time she must fight for the lives of two people who have lived under false pretenses for years.
As Jane uses her wits to preserve the lives of her two charges, she begins to suspect that what she faces is not two unrelated cases but a contest with a single cunning enemy - a vicious predator who becomes more terrifying and powerful with each kill.
