The Face-Changers (1998) is the 4th book in the Jane Whitefield series. Perhaps the best, so far.

Jane Whitefield is a Native American who has made a career out of helping people disappear.

Jane had quit and gotten married in book #3.

BUT, her husband’s mentor, plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Dahlman, is wrongly accused of murder.

Jane agrees to employ her expertise one more time.

Thus begins Perry’s latest, which soon begets layer upon layer of deception and intrigue. It seems that Dahlman himself, with a series of operations, had helped someone attain a new identity, and that he is being pursued not by the police but by men intent on killing him for what he knows.

Re-establishing some of her old creepy contacts, Jane becomes convinced the villains are in the business of frightening people into believing they are in danger, then collecting vast sums to help them vanish.

And now that the FBI is after Jane for Dahlman’s escape, she is beleaguered on two fronts. This is really a prolonged chase novel …
