ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Writing novels full of twists and turns is relatively easy. Doing so logically and coherently while maintaining a rapid pace is much tougher. Surprising readers without confusing them is the real art.
I drew on generous fans for guidance refining plot and characters of The Lies Of Spies, and for assistance in fighting my natural inclination toward typos. It was a great experience, and I’m grateful to them all.
