Assassin’s Mark is the tenth installment in my David Slaton series. I could never have imagined, so many years ago, that I would still be on this journey. Nor could I have foreseen all the help required to bring it to pass.
Thanks first and foremost to my family, ever-growing as it is. You have all been there for me from the start, and I know I can always count on you going forward.
Much appreciation to my friends in the thriller-writer community: Kyle Mills, Jeff Wilson, Brian Andrews, Jack Stewart, Simon Gervais, Mark Greaney, Tony Tata, Marc Cameron, and Don Bentley.
James Abt and his team of reviewers at Best Thriller Books (Best ThrillerBooks.com) have been essential in helping spread the word about my stories. So too, David Temple (The Thriller Zone podcast) and Mike and Chris (No Limits: The Mitch Rapp Podcast). Thanks as ever to Susan Gleason, my longtime agent.
The Tor Publishing Group brings all the moving parts together. Thanks to Linda Quinton, Robert Davis, Libby Collins, Angus Johnston, Andrew King, Sam Glatt, and Eileen Lawrence. Also, to the talented P.J. Ochlan, who brings the audiobooks alive.
And finally to my editor, Bob Gleason—you claim to have retired, but a handful of us know better.
