Vanishing Act

“Thomas Perry keeps pulling fresh ideas and original characters out of thin air. The strong-willed heroine he introduces in Vanishing Act rates as one of his most singular creations.”—The New York Times Book Review

“One thriller that must be read. . . . Perry has created his most complex and compelling protagonist.”—San Francisco Examiner

“Riveting . . . satisfying . . . Nobody writes thrillers like Thomas Perry. . . . His books are unpredictable, action-packed, and fueled by a cynical wit and observant eye for detail. . . . In Jane Whitefield, Perry has created a unique heroine, an ultracompetent woman attuned to the ancient ways of her ancestors and to the harsh realities of the moder, bureaucratic world.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“The action is nonstop.”—Detroit News

“On one level Vanishing Act is a typical classy and quirky Perry thriller, full of the sort of syllogistic logic in which things snap into place like so many Lego blocks. But it is also a very rational book about the limits of rationality . . . it is more than merely entertaining: It is brave.”—The Boston Sunday Globe
