Acknowledgments

Heartfelt thanks to Otto Penzler, whose love of a good mystery puts me back on the page, and to Heather Boak, my careful and brilliant editor. Also to Rob Hart, Lauren Chomiuk, and Laurie McGee.

Thanks to my loving husband, Tommy, who keeps the home fires burning; to my sister, Annie, my hero; and to Michael and Kim, my happy ever afters.

Some of the places in this book no longer exist, but they always shall in my memory.
