I was given great insight into how the police worked by Lindsay Baxter, who has also been a good and true friend to me. As if that weren’t enough, she even introduced me to Richard Graham, a legal eagle who was so patient when replying to my many and varied random queries about court process, etc. Any factual innacuracies are my own, either through misunderstanding or for the sake of the story.
Thanks to my guinea pigs, who not only had to listen to me describing plots and plans in great detail (your patience and stellar friendship in not telling me to just shut up will be forever appreciated!) but also read the first draft of my novel and made positive, constructive comments. My wonderful mother, Eileen (a true inspiration!), my sister, Ellen, Jean Jollands (official nagger for constantly telling me to keep writing – thank you), Fiona Ford, Mary Hykel Hunt, and Kerry Harden: all take a bow, please.
I’m so very grateful to you all.
