Title: Dance for the Dead
Review: This 1996 novel is the second in Perry’s unusual Jane Whitefield series. Jane is a Seneca Indian in far upstate New York who infamously makes people disappear who need to not be found by people with very bad intentions. The development of the main character from the first to the second book is significant and the story of Jane’s attempt to save an orphaned young boy, who is inheriting millions, form a cutthroat syndicate keeps us hurtling back and forth across the country with abandon and glee as readers. I’m hooked on the series now. thanks to my lit mentor, Professor Neil.
