Revisiting Thomas Perry: Jane Whitfield series
From goodreads:

Jane Whitefield is a Native American guide who leads people out of the wilderness--not the tree-filled variety but the kind created by enemies who want you dead. She is in the one-woman business of helping the desperate disappear. Thanks to her membership in the Wolf Clan of the Seneca tribe, she can fool any pursuer, cover any trail, and then provide her clients with new identities, complete with authentic paperwork. Jane knows all the tricks, ancient and modern; in fact, she has invented several of them herself.

…

Entertaining thriller/mysteries.


One caveat: Perry, a white man, uses a lot of Native American religion and history to describe Jane’s thoughts and actions.

Would be interesting hearing from Senecas about this cultural appropriation. Is it correct? Sensitively written? Any objections?

(Suggested I post here for thoughts, comments, discussion. Perhaps cross post in fiction post? Thanks!)

3. Really liked the first one especially

Takes place in my old stomping grounds. I’ve wondered about the cultural aspects too, but great thrillers, real page-turners.
