Forensic anthropologist Breanne Lasorso answered bone questions, adding fascinating details to the story. Any errors are my own.
The Legacy Tours Gangster Tour provided the foundation for my gangster research.
Information about police procedures comes from multiple sources: Lee Lofland’s Writers’ Police Academy, which I have attended several times; Former law enforcement officers and fellow writers, Nick Russell (Big Lake mysteries) and Billy Kring (Hunter Kincaid); Cincinnati’s Citizen Police Academy; and more recently, two Facebook groups dedicated to helping writers, B. Adam Richardson’s Writers Detective Bureau and Patrick O’Donnell’s Cops and Writers. I’ve done my best with what I’ve learned. Any inaccuracies are no reflection on them.
Taylor Stevens (The Informationist and Liars’ Paradox) and editor Lee Burton are my craft gurus, and my Beta team keeps me on track.
As always, the inimitable Elizabeth Mackey is responsible for my graphic design.
