I wish you the very best for the future.
Yours,

My thanks to:
Gunnar Lindstedt, author and journalist. His books Trustorhäven and boo.com inspired me to find out more about how great sums of money can vanish. Gunnar has also been kind enough to review sections of this book. His grasp of economics is much greater than mine.
Morgan Johansson, ornithologist and my neighbor. He has been extremely helpful sharing his knowledge of binoculars, which play a major role in this book.
Eva Odd, my hairdresser, who not only helps me figure out how to deal with my hair but is also knowledgeable about motor boats.
Inger Brunbäck, my childhood best friend, who has lived for many years on Styrsö. I have visited many times, and now I can comfortably rearrange the geography of the island and the surrounding rocks and smaller islands to suit the needs of this book. The houses described here do not exist in reality (at any rate, not where I’ve placed them) and my description of the southern archipelago does not correspond to the sea charts.
The author wants to make it absolutely clear that because of the geographic changes, this book cannot serve as a guide, for either Göteborg or Paris. The reader is discouraged from attempting to navigate the southern archipelago of Götheborg using the geographic descriptions found in this book.
All resemblances to any persons living or dead is coincidental and not the intention of the author. The single exception is the dog Sammie, who has no objection. Since he is my dog, he’s managed to remain aloof from all literary fame and takes life as it comes.
