by J. D. Weston
My family are from Theydon Bois, where John Cartwright’s house is located. In fact, my parents lived in the great house before I was born, renting a room off the wealthy owner.
The headquarters building is based on the same road as my first flat in Silvertown.
In the first book, Stone Cold, the location of the first murder was in fact in the same building as my first job.
While the locations may offer an insight into my own childhood, and early working years, the characters are all fictitious. I recently handed the first draft of book one, Stone Cold to some family members and discovered that John Cartwright is, in fact, the name of my great-grandfather. I hope that he wasn’t into the things the character John Cartwright is, and if he was, I’d like to know where the money went.
Stone Cold sets the scene for the rest of the series and is the result of a considerable amount of research. I tried to understand what books were out there, what people wanted and, of course, what I wanted to write.
I do hope you’ve enjoyed the series so far, but more than that, I hope you’ve grown to feel for Harvey and the other characters, and if you’ve come this far, perhaps you’ll come a little further and see how the next part of Harvey’s story unfolds. I wish I could tell you, I’m itching to just blurt it out. But hey, where’s the fun in that?

Acknowledgments
Authors are often portrayed as having very lonely work lives. There breeds a stereotypical image of reclusive authors talking only to their cat or dog and their editor, and living off cereal and brandy.
I beg to differ.
There is absolutely no way on the planet that this book could have been created to the standard it is without the help and support of Erica Bawden, Paul Weston, Danny Maguire, and Heather Draper. All of whom offered vital feedback during various drafts and supported me while I locked myself away and spoke to my imaginary dog, ate cereal and drank brandy.
The book was painstakingly edited by Ceri Savage, who continues to sit with me on Skype every week as we flesh out the series, and also threw in some amazing ideas.
To those named above, I am truly grateful.
J.D.Weston.
