Shadow Woman (Thomas Perry)

A worthy third novel in the Jane Whitefield series. Jane has decided to quit her occupation of making people disappear, but there is one last job she has to do. Pete Hatcher is a hapless middle manager in a Las Vegas casino who has suddenly become the target of some very scary professional assassins, and he has turned to Jane for a way out. As usual, it winds up being more difficult than she ever expected, and nearly costs not only her life but the lives of people she cares about. She is victorious, though, because she is tough and smart and uses the opportunities offered to her. I hope her future life goes well.
