Acknowledgements
Finishing a book is hard work. Fortunately, I had people around me who were there for me, who supported me.
Many thanks to my colleagues, who supported me during my work by giving me advice and help. Special thanks go to Heike and Andreas. I would like to thank my cover agency, Zero, from Munich for the splendid work they did on the cover for Shattered Brood/Scherbenbrut. A special thanks to Kristin Pang for her inventiveness and the way she realized my ideas in a way that made me open my mouth in amazement at the end! I am absolutely ENGERGIZED! This is how I imagine a great collaboration. Many, many thanks :-)
My readers: Nicole, Nadine, Anja and Emilia—for help and advice with cover questions—you don’t know how much you helped me. Nicole Nadine Schönberg for taking a preliminary look and telling me whether the story makes you curious. To my editor Claudia Heinen, who is not to be put off and who adapted to my chaotic way of working while working on my manuscript—without grumbling. I am thrilled to work with you.
The press office of the Augsburg police, especially Mr. Siegfried Hartmann, who provided me with all important information about police work. All deviations from reality regarding the investigative work of the police are solely on my account.
My husband, who helped me to support me during the intensive writing phase. Thank you also for all the goodies (the prosecco and chocolate) that you practically fed me when I couldn’t find my way to the kitchen in my writing frenzy.
To my son Tim, who encouraged to continue writing when I was about to give it all up. You are the most valuable thing I have in this world, I can’t say it often enough!
Last but not least, thank you, dear fans and readers, for buying this book. I sincerely hope you had as much fun reading it as I had (almost always) writing it.
