Dr. Joseph H. Davis, the world’s most brilliant forensic pathologist, contributed greatly to this book, as did my fabulous friend, Sergeant Joy Gellatly, the pride of the Savannah Police Department. She is the best and the brightest.
William and Karen Sampson, that phenomenal nationally known team of forensic experts, generously shared their genius. I am indebted to my old friends William Venturi and Raul J. Diaz, former homicide investigators, now ace private detectives and soldiers for justice. Between them, they have solved more real life-murders than most police departments ever see!
Lisa Kreeger, senior attorney with the American Prosecutors Research Institute, contributed invaluably to this book. Her razor-sharp mind, love for the law, and keen sense of justice make the world a better place. So does attorney, journalist, and fearless sports-car driver Siobhan Morrissey, who flashes in and out of my life at the speed of light in her big mean red machine.
Alisa Fanbrini is consistently generous with her expertise and knowledge. The world is more beautiful, thanks to her. I am also grateful for William B. Wolfson, whose words of wit and wisdom live on. Thanks go to my agent, Michael Congdon, and to Asa Boynton, Fire Lieutenant Russell Frank, Amy Brier, Rabbi Sholom Blank, Matthew Lane, the amazing Freddy Walker, my friends Leonard Wolfson, Brooke Engle, Dr. Howard Engle, Dr. Hubert Rosomoff, and the warm and witty Renee Steele Rosomoff. All gave generously of their time and knowledge—as did my veteran co-conspirators Marilyn Lane, Edward Gadinsky, Ann Hughes, Pam Stone Blackwell, the Rev. Garth Thompson, and Dr. Richard Souviron, the world-renowned forensic odontologist.
The brilliant Joel Hirshhorn, president of the American Board of Criminal Lawyers, rescued me, and my sanity. Again and again.
The usual suspects were there, as always, when I needed them: Dr. Ferdie Pacheco, Al Alschuler, Ira Dubitsky, Sol Schreiber, and Patricia Keen, along with the other loyal and stout-hearted Sesquipedelians. Friends are the family we choose. How cool is that?
