Special thanks to my dear friend and tireless reader, editor and supporter, Julie Williams; my talented and wonderful mystery critique group, Pam Giarrizzo, Michele Drier and June Gillam; early reader Rae James and Sisters in Crime for all your support. Jennifer Fisher, who helps make my manuscripts stronger. Doug Kelly, proofreader; Karen Phillips, cover artist; and L.K. Campbell, eBook formatter. To Anthony Wade for his information on Kajukembo, and burn nurse Holly Olmsted—I hope I got it right.
