Acknowledgements

As always, I’d like to start with my family. Without their love and support, I wouldn’t be the person or the writer that I am today. Thanks for putting up with me.

Next, I want to thank my friend and agent, Scott Miller. Before we teamed up, I was a self-published author. Now my books are available around the world. I also want to thank Claire Roberts – my foreign agent, who landed my British deal and many others. It’s quite comforting to have Scott, Claire and the rest of Trident Media in my corner.

Over the past five years, I’ve had a chance to work with Alex Clarke, my editor, on six Payne & Jones thrillers. During that time, I went from an unknown American to a Sunday Times bestselling author. I’d like to thank him for all that he’s done. While I’m at it, I also want to thank Nick Lowndes and everyone else at Penguin UK.

Next up is my good friend Ian Harper. I want to thank him for reading, rereading, and then re-rereading everything I write and for all the suggestions that he makes. His advice and expertise is invaluable. If anyone’s looking for a freelance editor, please let me know. I’d be happy to put you in touch with him.

Finally, I’d like to thank all the readers, librarians, booksellers and critics who have read my thrillers and have recommended them to others. At this stage of my career, I still need all the help I can get, so I would appreciate your continued support.
