Dance for the Dead (1996) is the 2nd book in the Jane Whitefield series.

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

Perry weaves Native American history, stories, theology, and cultural practices into each novel.

This book is intense.

To protect a young boy in Dance for the Dead, Jane has to hunt down the person responsible for killing multiple people.

Another client that Jane reluctantly accepts had stolen millions of dollars through fraud, but the client’s expertise helps Jane identify the killer.

From the Publisher

One of the reasons that I love Thomas Perry’s Jane Whitfield books is that they are filled with so much arcane information about the darker side of life.

Perry fills you in on how to fabricate a life, steal a car, or set up a bank account using someone else’s Social Security Number.
