by Simon Kurt Unsworth


  Rebecca and Adam, little sis and brother-in-law, for pretty much the same thing;

  Rob Bloom at Doubleday and Michael Rowley at Del Rey UK for taking a chance;

  John Berlyne at the Zeno Agency for early advice and having faith in me;

  Steve Marsh, best friend and the person who told me to write this book and not the other one I was planning;

  Andrew Worgan, other best friend, for the whiskey;

  Steve Volk, for the advice and coffee;

  All the authors and filmmakers whose work I’ve adored, alive and dead, the ones I’ve met and the ones I never will, for the influence and the pleasure they keep on bringing me;

  The rail network that covers the UK, upon which most of this novel was written;

  Mostly, though, I need to thank Rosie. Without her, I’d be a smaller, sadder person and the world would be a smaller, sadder place. Hold my hand, babe, and let’s walk into the future.
