David Harper yet again helped me make Sara fairly legitimate as a doctor. Thank you, David, for almost two decades of free medical school. I’m sorry/notsorry I keep killing my patients. For insight into their workplace, my appreciation goes to Stacey Abrams and David Ralston. To my friends at the GBI, I am eternally grateful for your input, and as a Georgian, grateful for your professionalism and diligence. Special Agent Dona Roberts (ret), I always appreciate your take on LEO and the world at large. Thank you to the folks at the CDC for answering my questions. Thank you fellow author Carolina De Robertis, aka Dr. Palabras Sucias, for help with my Spanish. Michelle Spivey and Theresa Lee really wanted to be in this book (and support Save the Libraries) so I hope you are happy with your roles, as I know the Decatur Library is happy to use your funds to help children learn to read.
A note on the plot: for obvious reasons, I’ve taken many liberties with layouts and design and methods. If you’d like to peruse my spoiler-filled research, you can visit: karinslaughter.com/tlwreferences. If you want to sing along with Sara: Joan Armatrading, Beastie Boys, Dolly Parton, Bronski Beat, Patti Smith, Edie Brickell, Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Last thanks as always goes to DA, my love, and my Daddy, who let me take care of him for five minutes this year and it almost drove both of us crazy. Let’s not ever do that again.
