Material Witnesses
First Draft First Responders: La Jaffe, Uncle Sheldon, Mighty Mike, the KamKels, Motorcycle Jim, T-Boze, Donna D, WorkDaveWork and RuleDawnRule.
Italian For Dummies Who Write Novels: Pacelli The Japanese Dancing Elvis and Bonfante The Tuscan Tornado.
Police Procedures: Sergeant Karen Lemon of the Chicago PD was kind enough to provide details and data, so if there are any howling inaccuracies in this book’s policework, it is all Sgt. Lemon’s fault… No, wait—that’s a howling inaccuracy. If any of the operational details are less than realistic, it’s because I chose to blow off documentary authenticity in favor of cheap thrills, in order to satisfy you, the reader. So any errors are your fault.
