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, nee Whitefield, has settled into the quiet life of a suburban housewife — or so she thinks. One morning as she comes back from a long run, Jane is met by an unusual sight: eight clan mothers from the local Seneca reservation, 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. 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. Thomas Perry's A String of Beads (Mysterious Press) 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.
