Plot Summary of Shadow Woman
"Native American Jane Whitefield has a special talent: when people are in trouble, she spirits them away, and creates new lives for them.

Peter Hatcher is one of her cases. A former casino executive, his employers fear that he will blow the whistle on their criminal practices. Jane engineers an escape for him, and sets him up with a new identity. But Peter can't keep hidden, and his former boss hires a team of professional hitmen to kill him. Jane must leave her new husband, and help Peter evade the killers."

Steph, Resident Scholar
