Anything You Do Say
Page 31
To Darin Millar, who read this book alongside my agent and fed back such helpful advice on criminal defence. And to Neil White, who answered many bonkers queries over Twitter DM. I couldn’t have written a novel like this without both of you. And Roxie Cooper, who helped me on the law of self-defence and mistake. Thank goodness for lawyers!
To Tom Davis, my English tutor at university, who, one day in 2004, emailed me and said: I read your blog. Hey, you can do dialogue. There began a thirteen-year mentoring relationship. I still send him early chapters, about which he is brutal and kind.
And finally, as always, to David. Life coach, therapist, cook, cleaner, muse, sounding board, best friend and lover. I couldn’t do anything without you, least of all write novels.
