  ‘Except he’s not here now, is he?’ asked Blake, turning to kiss her.

  Acknowledgements

  I want to thank Detective Inspector Julie Willats of the Metropolitan Police Service and Tracy Alexander, Director of Forensic Services for the City of London Police. Each gave me generous and patient help, and this book could not have been written without either of them. I am filled with admiration and respect for the work they do. All errors of fact or interpretation are entirely my own.

  I also acknowledge the assistance of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime.

  For background on past police corruption I drew on an impeccably researched book by Michael Gillard and Laurie Flynn, Untouchables: Dirty cops, bent justice and racism in Scotland Yard, reprinted by Bloomsbury in 2012.

  I also owe thanks to my daughter for keeping me up to speed on podcasting; to Brian Smith for his local knowledge of Southend-on-Sea; and to Carolyn Bromfield, who offered me not only hospitality but also her name.

  As ever, grateful thanks to my wonderful editor, Jane Wood, and all the great team at Quercus, especially to Therese Keating and Hannah Robinson for all their hard work. And, last but not least, thanks to my lovely agent Sheila Crowley and her brilliant assistant Abbie Greaves at Curtis Brown, for encouragement and support.
