Acknowledgments
When writing, it’s easy to be enticed down unintended paths, to become lost in one’s imaginary world. At such times, I’m grateful for the collaborative aspect of writing. At hand are clear-minded professionals who are capable of guiding me back home. I’d like to acknowledge my editor, Daniela Rapp, at Minotaur Books and my agents, Michael and Susan Morgan Farris. In addition I would like to acknowledge all the other team members at St. Martin’s who helped root out my errors. They made the work the best it could be.
This is a work of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in this novel are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
