books by Thomas Perry     books:       Silence35 reviews Thomas Perry Vanguard Press, 2009 Big action and big fun! Loved the characters and the plot was fun, exciting, engaging, compelling and suspenseful. This is a great thriller and it makes me want to read all Perry's stuff.             Vanishing Act (Jane Whitfield Novel)38 reviews Thomas Perry Fawcett, 1996 Couldn't Put it Down! This is not your typical murder mystery. The heroine helps people enter their own version of "the witness protection" program. This book is one of the best of the series because it shows some vulnerability in Jane along with unexpected plot twists. And the action is non -stop. Loved it!             The Face-Changers (Jane Whitefield)33 reviews Thomas Perry Ivy Books, 1999 Protector of the Innocent Jane Whitefield is a marvelous addition to the pantheon of females defending the good guys and defeating the bad guys. Her persona as a spiritual guide creates a twist that is novel and fascinating. Her super-hero powers are pretty good, too.             Runner (Jane Whitefield)45 reviews Thomas Perry Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009 Weaves a plausible tale out of a seemingly implausible situation I don't remember the old Jane Whitefield novels in perfect detail, but I recall enough to believe that this recent addition is as good as any of them. The potential plot holes are well-filled, which makes "Runner" refreshing among thrillers, a genre in which all too often I find myself wondering, "Wait a minute, why doesn't X just do Y?" That happened here too, inasmuch as the bad guys were ...             Dance for the Dead (Jane Whitefield)21 reviews Thomas Perry Ivy Books, 1997 Thomas Perry is a great author! I have read all of Thomas Perry's books. He is a great author! He manages to combine huge amounts of action and suspense with literate writing and well-developed, sensitive and interesting characters. "Dance for the Dead" is about Jane Whitfield, my favorite Thomas Perry character. Jane is a Seneca Indian who grew up near Niagara Falls, and the book is loaded with Indian history. Jane saves ...             Blood Money (Jane Whitefield)31 reviews Thomas Perry Ballantine Books, 2002 Hide and Seek A Jane Whitefield by Thomas Perry is always a delight. This time out even though she'd promised herself to remain at home, Jane has a teenager and a septuagenarian to help disappear. Fiction reading entails a suspension of belief, for this one the flaw is five mafia families using the same accountant. But it makes for fun when said accountant fakes his own death and takes off with the money. ...             Shadow Woman (Jane Whitefield)21 reviews Thomas Perry Ivy Books, 1998 Love at first fight In the first few pages, Jane disables a very large bad guy in an elevator. He grabs her ankle as she exits (He's 'lying down.'). She says to him, "Think about it. Do you really want me alone with you in that elevator?" He lets go. I'm in love. Nobody outsmarts, outfights, or outlasts bad guys like Seneca adventurer Jane Whitefield. The first three books in Perry's wonderful series--Vanishing ...             Fidelity26 reviews Thomas Perry Mariner Books, 2009 Another excellent tale from Thomas Perry I have never missed (or been disappointed by) a book by Thomas Perry. His characters are complete and real; when he writes about a location, you know he's spent time breathing the local air; he does not insult the reader with too much information, and every one of his books is very hard to put down once you get into it. This is no exception. He is one of my 4 favorite authors.             The Butcher's Boy31 reviews Thomas Perry Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003 "Everything is plausible if you haven't got the answer." I don't know how I missed knowing about Perry, since he's been cranking them out for a quarter-century, but somehow I did. I saw a recommendation for _Death Benefits,_ enjoyed that one, and went hunting for his earlier work. This is his first and it won an Edgar. The title character, never given a personal name, is a "specialist," a highly professional hit man, who began learning his trade in ...             Metzger's Dog: A Novel18 reviews Thomas Perry Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003 incredibly funny This is really first rate. A treasure. This should be part of our national heritage and made available to all Americans. Its Perry's masterpiece, but its genius--combining madcap absurdity with some deadly serious (and credible intelligence snafus)--goes far beyond mere comparisons to his other works. Its just "A masterpiece" pure and simple. Highly recommended.             Big Fish3 reviews Thomas Perry Scribner Book Company, 1985 Publisher! Reprint this book! The best summer reading imaginable. Buy an old copy now and don't wait for the silly publishers to get off their butts and reissue it. This is classic Thomas Perry -- odd, violent characters that you come to care about, tight plotting touched with wit and irony that make it more believable not less, and scenes you'll remember. I have to say it; Thomas Perry has this trick about writing about ...             Patrick County (VA) (Then & Now) (Then and Now) Thomas D. Perry Arcadia Publishing, 2009 From 1790 until today, continuity in Patrick County, Virginia, has involved a rural agricultural life based on family and religion. In the history of the county named for Patrick Henry, the population has only doubled since the Civil War, when men such as cavalryman James Ewell Brown ?Jeb? Stuart hailed from the county.             Henry County, VA (IMG) (Images of America) Thomas D. Perry Arcadia Publishing, 2009 Formed in January 1777, Henry County was named for the Commonwealth of VirginiaÂ?s first governor, Patrick Henry, who lived in the county from 1779 until 1784. Located along the border of North Carolina, the county was once home to the famous antebellum Hairston family. In the 20th century, textiles, furniture, and the chemical manufacturer DuPont made up the large industrial base of the county. With the recent outsourcing of jobs, the county ...             Strip Thomas Perry Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010 An aging but formidable strip club owner, Claudiu ?Manco? Kapak, has been robbed by a masked gunman as he placed his cash receipts in a bank?s night-deposit box. Enraged, he sends his half-dozen security men out to find a suspect who is spending lots of cash and is new enough to Los Angeles not to know he was robbing a gangster.   Their search leads them to Joe Carver, an innocent but hardly defenseless newcomer who evades capture and sets ...             Dead Aim: A Novel27 reviews Thomas Perry Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006 Big fun! I will describe this book as compelling, fast-paced, smooth, engaging, and suspenseful. I found it hard to put down and when I finished I immediately started another of his called SILENCE.             Sleeping Dogs22 reviews Thomas Perry Ivy Books, 1993 non-stop thrills! "Sleeping Dogs" is the sequel to "The Butcher's Boy". The Butcher's Boy was raised by a butcher whose main income came from being a professional assassin. After being forced to kill a number of mob figures in "The Butcher's Boy" he fled to England and retired on his earnings. He found a girlfriend, a member of the English aristocracy named the Honorable Meg, and managed to lay low for ten ...             Death Benefits53 reviews Thomas Perry Ballantine Books, 2001 Shockingly good I have been gobbling up Thomas Perry novels ever since discovering his Jane Whitfield series, so I only glanced at the cover when I picked this one up from the bin. I have to confess I was let down when I saw that it was about the insurance industry--what could be more boring? But "boring" is exactly the wrong word to use to describe this wonderfully exciting novel. I was hooked from the first ...             Nightlife: A Novel39 reviews Thomas Perry Ballantine Books, 2007 nightlife The twists and turns in this book keeps you on the edge of your seat. I found myself enjoying an evil serial killer way too much. I highly recommend this book.             The Washington Manual® Endocrinology Subspecialty Consult (Washington Manual Subspecialty Consult)2 reviews Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008 Endocrinology Consult for a good price I bought this book for an Endocrinology rotation during my 2nd year in residency, including Consult Service and Outpatient Clinic. This book includes most of the basic knowledge that i needed to complete my service month, without leaving many topics that i needed uncovered. I found though, that it lacks some important topics, like uncontrolled DM due to medication or infection, Steroids tapering, ...             Pursuit: A Novel50 reviews Thomas Perry Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006 Just what I wanted.
