| In this superb novel by one of America''s best thriller writers, Jane Whitefield takes on the Mafia---and its money. |
Annotation:
Native American do-gooder Jane Whitefield has a knack for helping people escape their troubled lives. In BLOOD MONEY, she once again comes to the rescue when Rita, an 18-year-old house servant, requests that Jane help her and her accountant-for-the-mob boss, Bernie Lupus, to disappear and resume life under assumed names. For years, Bernie has been the keeper of the mob family's ill-begotten stash of 10 billion dollars. But for some reason, the family is beginning to distrust their money-minder--a feeling that could result in some fatal "accidents" if Rita and Bernie don't get out of town fast. Assisting them in their disappearance proves simple for Jane. But now the twosome wants her to snatch the cash away from the mob's clutches and their dirty deeds. So begins a suspenseful game of cat and mouse, in which Jane must dole out the cash to various charities before the mob catches her.

Praise
Entertainment Weekly
"...[I]f you can manage to bury your skepticism and accept Perry's premise, BLOOD MONEY works, though more on a zany level than a scary one." - Tom De Haven 01/07/00 Kirkus Reviews
"Compulsively readable. If Jane seems to know more about everything than anybody else, so be it. You'll like it that way." 11/01/1999 Mystery Review
"Don't you love it when a series keeps getting better and better?....This is one of the best ten thrillers I've read in the past year." - Linda Turk Spring 2000 New York Times Book Review
"Go. Run. Hide. Escape. The little voice that promises adventure and danger in Thomas Perry's hide-and-seek thrillers sends out another irresistible summons in BLOOD MONEY." - Marilyn Stasio 01/09/2000 Salon
"There are five Jane Whitefield novels so far and all are good. THE FACE-CHANGERS and the latest, BLOOD MONEY, both demonstrations that nobody writes his characters into a tight spot better than Perry, are highlights." - Charles Taylor 01/03/2000
