I have been blessed by my friends, and have managed to keep friendships from childhood until now. I am grateful to my manager Eustace King, the vision of Nick Garrison of Penguin Random House, the tireless work of Roger Freet of Folio Literary Management and my friend and writing teammate Michael McKinley for helping me to tell the tale within these pages.
Thank you to my family.
Last but most I thank my wife and partner of 51 years, Deljeet Manak. Thank you for your patience and encouragement.
