Shadow Woman

“A THRILLER THAT IS BOTH LITERATE

AND COMPELLING … THE ENDING

IS TERRIFIC.”

—The Orlando Sentinel

“In this superb book, with its surreal description of the glitter and fakery of Las Vegas, Thomas Perry’s peerless heroine, Jane Whitefield, engineers a disappearance worthy of the Miraculous Miranda. A wonderful mix of plot and character, Shadow Woman dazzles like a house of mirrors.”

—MARTHA GRIMES

“Perry shares with very few writers the specific skill of writing about pursuit. He is powerfully adept at pacing, retaining and renewing suspense, all the while keeping track of how a character thinks and acts through the long, difficult problem of staying alive against great odds. It is no less than a delight to watch Whitefield in action.… Shadow Woman is the best of the three Jane Whitefield novels thus far, and the first two were merely wonderful.”

—Newsday

“The suspense of the chase gives this moody thriller its power.”

—The Boston Globe

“Another masterfully invented detective story … The suspense is unrelenting.”

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
