Robert B. Parker's Revelation

Page 25

by Robert Knott


  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  As always, “much obliged” goes out to G. P. Putnam’s Sons’ president, Ivan Held, and my incredible editor extraordinaire, Chris Pepe, for making this escape possible. Much appreciation to Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen, and Renée Zellweger for their continued supply of ammo. I could not have got out of the compound without the ladder and ropes from my partners in crime, Jayne Amelia Larson and mountain guide Rob Wood of Rancho Roberto. As always, I have to acknowledge the continued support of my mysterious sisters—the Clogging Castanets—Sandra and Karen who actually do nothing but laugh, which is beyond helpful. To Rex “Hook’em Horns” Linn for crying Revelation out loud. To James “Whatnot” Whitcomb for his constant toast to freedom. Thanks to manager Josh Kesselman, Allison Binder Esq., agent Steve Fisher, and the rest of the convicts from APA for helping to pepper the trail. As always, a smile up and around in the night sky to Robert B. and Joan Parker . . . and a shotgun salute to the late Helen Brann. Most important, a loud and grateful holler at the fullest moon goes out to my beautiful and loving—the good-looking brunette woman—Julie for being there on the other side of the wall with the horses—with love and deep appreciation—THANK YOU!
