A String of Beads | Thomas Perry
3 posts | 4 read
After two decades protecting innocent victims on the run, and a year after getting shot on a job that took a dangerous turn for the worse, Jane McKinnon, ne Whitefield, has settled into the quiet life of a suburban housewife in Amherst, New Yorkor so she thinks. One morning as she comes back from a long run, Jane is met by an unusual sight: all eight clan mothers, the female leaders of the Seneca clans, parked in her driveway in two black cars. A childhood friend of Janes from the reservation, Jimmy, is wanted by the police for the murder of a local white man. But instead of turning himself in, he's fled, and no one knows where he is hiding out. At the clan mothers request, Jane retraces a walking trip she and Jimmy took together when they were fourteen in hopes that he has gone the same way again. But it soon becomes clear that the police arent the only ones after him. As the chase intensifies, the number of people caught up in this twisted plot multiplies, and Jane is the only one who can protect those endangered by it. A String of Beads is an addictive, fast-paced thriller about how abandoning the past can sometimes be the hardest thing to do, even when your lifeand the life of those you lovedepends on it.

I read this several years ago and liked it, and it‘s different enough from The Bomb Maker that I didn‘t realize it was by the same author. In fact, the main thing I remember is a lot of hitching rides on freight trains.

I have many #pagesavers on hand but end up using random scraps of paper. 😚

The beaded bookmarks were some of my first projects and the reason I got into beading. Some of the others were gifts/swaps.
