It takes a village to create a book. Special thanks to my editor, Michelle; her assistant, Bethany; and all the copyeditors, production folks, and proofreaders at Berkley Prime Crime. Thanks, too, to my agent, Paige Wheeler, who keeps me on track and helps me make a living doing what I love. Finally, thanks to the readers who keep buying my books, sharing my stories, and allowing me to be a part of their lives. You all ROCK.
