My thanks to New Mexico for providing the inspiration for the Detective Temeke series. To my mother for giving me a safe and loving home, and to my father who gave me his love of language and books. Special thanks to the Albuquerque Police Department and the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department, and to all the police officers, deputies and detectives I have worked with, especially for their dedication and sacrifice. For the invaluable services of Twisted Ink Publishing, The 13th Sign and An Tig Beag Press. A huge thank you to editor Jeff Gardiner and the wonderful proofreaders at Kingdom Writing Solutions for molding the clay into something worth reading.
