Vanishing Act by Thomas Perry

Jane Whitefield has made it her life's work to help people who are being hunted to disappear forever. She helps them get new identities and sets them up in their new lives. A man named John Felker shows up at her house asking for her assistance. Jane agrees to aid him, despite having reservations about his story. In this, the first novel of the Jane Whitefield series, Perry spends a lot of time on Jane's background as a half white/half Seneca woman and her Native American rituals. While I enjoyed The Vanishing Act, it has less action and suspense than Runner, the latest book in the series.
