After two decades protecting innocent victims on the run, and a year after getting shot on a job that took a dangerous turn for the worse, Jane McKinnon, née Whitefield, has settled into the quiet life of a suburban housewife in Amherst, New York—or so she thinks.
One morning as she comes back from a long run, Jane is met by an unusual sight: all eight clan mothers, the female leaders of the Seneca clans, parked in her driveway in two black cars. A childhood friend of Jane’s from the reservation, Jimmy, is wanted by the police for the murder of a local white man. But instead of turning himself in, he's fled, and no one knows where he is hiding out. At the clan mothers’ request, Jane retraces a walking trip she and Jimmy took together when they were fourteen in hopes that he has gone the same way again. But it soon becomes clear that the police aren’t the only ones after him. As the chase intensifies, the number of people caught up in this twisted plot multiplies, and Jane is the only one who can protect those endangered by it. A String of Beads is an addictive, fast-paced thriller about how abandoning the past can sometimes be the hardest thing to do, even when your life—and the life of those you love—depends on it.

Review
“Another excellently engineered thriller from Thomas Perry featuring Jane Whitefield. . . . Soul-searching and car chases too. What more could we ask from an escape artist like Perry?”—New York Times Book Review
“Whitefield is an indelible figure—whip-smart, resourceful, brave and big-hearted.”—Seattle Times
“Jane Whitefield is unique in the annals of detective fiction. She is a throwback to a tribal world, still loyal to the beliefs of the Seneca Indians and still adhering to the call of a lost era. Thomas Perry has once again resurrected a remarkable character who seems imbued with a strange immortality and an unusual morality, and he is to be congratulated.”—Washington Times
“Thomas Perry’s smooth, unpretentious and action-packed page-turners just keep coming . . . In an era where the outsized comic book ethos of superheroes, magic, and vengeance seemingly has sway over the entire culture, it is a relief to enjoy one of Perry’s comparatively restrained adventures for smart adults . . . One of the best Jane books so far.”—Life Sentence
"Does not disappoint."—Deadly Pleasures
“Many scenes have an almost Twilight Zone atmosphere of sudden recognition. The landscape is filled with references to tribal history, and Perry also delivers fascinating information on how to hide and change identity. . . . First-rate suspense.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Perry’s thriller swings into action as soon as Jane is on the trail. A breathless pace sets the tone with numerous close calls as the expert, clever heroine tries to solve the crime before Jimmy gets caught. Enthusiastically recommended for series fans and for readers who appreciate strong female protagonists.”—Library Journal

Jane drove south to the mechanic’s shop that was owned by the Snows. She pulled close to the garage
doorway, got out, and walked to the front of her car.
“Janie?”
Jane turned her head and saw a dark-skinned man about her age wearing blue work pants, steel-toed boots, and a gray work shirt with an embroidered patch above the pocket that said RAY. Jane stepped up and hugged him. “It’s great to see you, Ray. I was afraid you would be on vacation or something.”
“No, the guys who work for me get vacations. I’m always here, like the doorknob. Got a car problem?”
“I wondered if you could do the scheduled maintenance on my car—you know, oil, filter, lube, check and replace belts and hoses—and then keep it here safe for at least a week or so.”
“I’d be glad to. You staying around here?”
“I thought I’d go on a hike, like we used to when we were kids.”
Ray Snow’s brows knitted. “You trying to find Jimmy?”
Jane looked around to see if anyone else was in earshot. She smiled and said, “Not me. That’s the police’s job. I wouldn’t want to get involved.”
“Well, that’s good. A person would have to be stupid to do that.” He whispered, “Give him my regards.”

The shark hasn't been jumped, after all
By Paper or Kindle
This is the eighth book in the great Jane Whitefield series, which has been running since 1995. After two decades, the author has encountered a problem inherent in such a situation: his protagonist, who is called upon to outrun, outsmart, and outfight many opponents, is aging out. There are different ways to handle this. The late Ed McBain, whose 87th Precinct series ran for nearly 60 years, stalled all his characters in their 40s and never aged them afterwards. JD Robb's In Death series, also going strong after 20 years, has each book take place a few days or weeks after the previous one, so aging will never be a problem. Thomas Perry has chosen a third method of handing the situation: he has reversed time. In the last novel, Jane was clearly in her upper 40s. Now she is back to 34, though there are some editing anomalies which belie this. It works fine for me. Jane, who has had a secret and successful career assisting people to flee danger and create new lives in safety and anonymity, is now called upon to locate someone. He's an old childhood friend who is being framed for murder. Jane would turn down this assignment, but it comes from a source she can't refuse, the eight clan mothers of her Seneca tribe. Using her experience and her Indian history and culture as a guide, Jane goes after Jimmy. He's being sought by the police as well as by the folks who framed him, and since he has no idea why he's been targeted, it's up to Jane to figure it out and keep him alive. The last book in this series was a disappointment and I was afraid it had run its course, but this one shows that the author still has his game going, and I'm looking forward to more of Jane's adventures.

I thought it would be a normal good book. Was I ever mistaken
By Edward D. Clark
From reading the beginning, or synopsis, I thought it would be a normal good book. Was I ever mistaken. This book starts off giving you some first class tips on how to protect yourself against people who might want to harm you. It gives you many valid security tips, and then the story really starts to move, and somehow or other, Thomas Perry does not stop the action long enough to give you a breath of fresh air. The suspense is continuing with no let up, and trying to lay the book down is futile. You immediately have to pick it up and continue with the action. So if what you want in a book is suspense, this is it. Jane Whitefield does not let you relax until the last page. You can't even skip a couple of pages to see what might happen net, because you are afraid you'll miss something important in what you temporarily skipped over. Enjoy! Once you finish, you'll definitely be loaning it out to your friends so they also can find out what true suspense is all about..

"Just remember all the things I've taught you about staying invisible."
By E. Bukowsky
"A String of Beads" is the latest installment in Thomas Perry's popular series featuring Jane Whitefield. Jane, who lives in New York State with her husband, a surgeon named Carey McKinnon, is physically fit and stays in shape by running and practicing tai chi. In her spare time, she does volunteer and charity work. What makes her unique is her a secret and hazardous avocation: She is a guide who helps desperate people flee from precarious situations. If necessary, she sets her clients up with forged papers so that they can start over in new locations under assumed names.
One day, Jane receives an unexpected visit from eight female clan members who represent the Seneca, her late father's Native American tribe. They urge Jane to employ her talents--she is an expert tracker and markswoman who thinks strategically and is trained in hand-to-hand combat--to assist Jimmy Sanders, her childhood friend. He is in hiding after being framed for a murder that he did not commit.
Thomas Perry has long been a favorite among thriller fans because of his well-crafted prose and dialogue, intriguing characters, engrossing plot lines, and exciting action sequences. The Whitefield books have an added dimension because of their emphasis on Jane's reverence for the Seneca traditions and customs. "A String of Beads" shows Jane at her most impressive. She uses her intellect and instincts to anticipate danger before it approaches, and then devises ways of evading or confronting her antagonists. When violence cannot be avoided, she does what is necessary to stay alive and protect those who depend on her. Some may argue that Jane is a little too good to be true; she is unselfish, generous, and incredibly proficient at the skills needed for survival. Furthermore, the villains are little more than one-dimensional thugs--and none too bright, at that. Nevertheless, Jane's fans will willingly suspend their disbelief and continue to embrace this clever, determined, and tough heroine who, time and again, persuades would-be victims to trust her with their lives. (4.5 stars)
