The authors wish to express their deepest gratitude to the following people, whose support and assistance made this book possible:
Mark Borchardt, a Bush pilot in the finest sense of the word, for ride-alongs over the Alaskan Arctic.
Norm Hughes and the other men and women of the Kotzebue Police Department, for much useful information on how policing works in the Alaska Bush, and for ride-alongs on patrol on spring evenings in the Arctic.
Jim Evak of Kotzebue, for his help with the Inupiaq language and many other particulars of life in the Arctic.
And friends, family members, and fellow writers too numerous to name who reviewed the manuscript along the way and recommended countless improvements.
