The Left-Handed Twin

fullDescription

Jane Whitefield helps people disappear. Fearing for their lives, fleeing dangerous situations, her clients come to her when they need to vanish completely-to assume a new identity and establish a new life somewhere they won't be found. And when people are desperate enough to need her services, they come to the old house in western New York where Jane was raised to begin their escape. It's there that, one spring night, Jane finds a young woman fresh from LA with a whole lot of trouble behind her. After she cheated on her boyfriend, he dragged her to the home of the offending man and made her watch as he killed him. She testified against the boyfriend, but a bribed jury acquitted him, and now he's free and trying to find and kill her. Jane agrees to help, and it soon becomes clear that outsmarting the murderous boyfriend is not beyond Jane's skills. But the boyfriend has some new friends: members of a Russian organized crime brotherhood. When they learn that Sara is traveling with a tall, dark-haired woman who makes people vanish, the Russians become increasingly interested in helping the boyfriend find the duo. They've heard rumors that such a woman existed-and believe that, if forcibly extracted, the knowledge she has of past clients could be worth millions.

   • content: Narrator Joyce Bean, the voice of this series, returns to bring listeners Native American Jane Whitefield. In helping a young woman disappear from a murderous boyfriend, Jane triggers a blood-thirsty pursuit by the Russian mob, pushing her to leverage her well-honed survival skills. Bean portrays Jane with an even-paced, somewhat monotone voice that conveys calm intelligence. For Sara, Jane's young client, Bean provides a more youthful timbre and an emotional tone. She also does a masterful job of portraying the men and women who cross the protagonists' paths. The only miss is the voice of Magda, a Russian mobster whose neutral accent doesn't quite convey her character. Fans will be delighted to accompany Jane on the run as she travels through Maine's Hundred-Mile Wilderness. E.Q. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine

     Starred review from July 1, 2022
     

     Fans of Perry's thrilling "Jane Whitefield" series won't be disappointed with this latest entry (following A String of Beads), which finds Jane once again on the road helping a woman escape. For years, Jane has devoted herself to helping those who must disappear in order to survive. Sara comes to Jane on the run from her vengeful ex-boyfriend Albert, and Jane teaches the young woman how to create a new identity. Yet their cover keeps getting blown wherever they go. Jane eventually realizes that Albert is being helped by an especially sadistic member of the Russian mob with eyes everywhere--and they want Jane, not Sara. The tension ratchets up unbearably as Jane hides along the Appalachian Trail while being pursued by the Russians, but there is nothing she won't do to protect her runners. Joyce Bean narrates in an appropriately calm way, and the pacing is maintained at a steady pace, which makes the tension even worse. Bean really inhabits not just the main character but the young and na�ve Sara, out-of-his-depth Albert, and the many frightening Russians. VERDICT Listeners will cheer Jane along as they bite their nails throughout this relentless novel. Highly recommended.--B. Allison Gray

     August 16, 2021
     At the start of Edgar winner Perry’s engrossing eighth Jane Whitefield novel (after 2015’s A String of Beads), Jane, a Native American guide who specializes in helping people in trouble disappear, finds a stranger, Sara Doughton, waiting for her one night in the Amherst, N.Y., house Jane shares with her new husband, surgeon Carey McKinnon. When Sara explains she’s fled L.A. to escape a murderous former boyfriend bent on revenge, Jane agrees to help. Meanwhile, the ex-boyfriend enlists the aid of some Russian criminals, who soon take an interest in Jane. After relocating Sara in Boston with a new identity, Jane attempts to lose her pursuers in Maine on the Appalachian Trail. Utilizing wisdom from her Seneca ancestors and some bad-ass survival skills, Jane matches wits with a gang of elite killers. Though a few sequences strain credibility, Perry delivers nonstop action, relentless tension, and such three-dimensional secondary characters as the female thief Magda. Jane’s developing relationship with Carey is a plus. Fans will hope they won’t have to wait another six years for Jane’s next outing.
