Subject: ANHOW Book Review: "Vanishing Act"

Title : Vanishing Act
Author: Thomas Perry
Publisher: Ivy Books, 1995
Length: 321 pages, paperback
Genre: suspense/thriller

This novel features Jane Whitfield, a Seneca from upper New York sho helps fugitives disappear. She is picky about those she helps and she has quite a few resources at her disposal, including incredible outdoor survival skills and a network of associates to help cover her tracks and provide new identities (Isn't it interesting that EVERY Indian character in this type of book is an expert outdoorsman? Just once, I'd like to see an Indian with all of the outdoor skills of Woody Allen!)

I almost stopped reading this book about 60 pages in - but it got better. There's a pretty good plot twist that pulls its final grade up to a "C-"
