Jane Whitefield has an uncommon career as a freelance "disappearer." When someone is in a jam and needs a safe haven, Jane finds it for them. Jane's newest case involves an eight-year-old who will inherit millions as long as he remains alive until the will is probated. The villains after his fortune have already killed his parents, his nanny, and a lawyer and are hot on the trail of the kid. Then Jane encounters smart, attractive Mary Perkins, a former banker and consummate con artist who has stolen a cool $50 million in a savings-and-loan scam. So far, Mary has managed to keep herself hidden from the folks who want the money back, but she's running out of time and disguises, and she figures only Jane can help.
