by Kathy Reichs
I am eternally grateful to Don Weisberg at Penguin and to Susan Sandon at Random House UK for believing in the series from the start. Huge thanks to Ben Schrank, Jessica Rothenberg, and Anne Heltzel at Razorbill for their brilliant editing and for mentoring me through the unknown territory of young adult fiction.
I also wish to thank my super-agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and the entire staff at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment for their unlimited support.
And, of course, I appreciate the loyalty of my readers. Thanks, guys. It’s all about you.
I love you all!
