ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank my terrific editor at Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press, Brendan Deneen, for his wisdom and encouragement. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank some people who have really helped my career through the years: my manager, Peter Meyer; Richard Lindheim, my co-creator on The Equalizer TV series; my (at onetime) agent Lou Pitt; Peter Fischer; Robert Dozier; Jerry Thorpe; Glen Larson; Stu Erwin; Gregg Maday; my sister Judy; to Robert Campbell (a mentor); and to all of my friends who have always supported me and cared for me in England and Canada and the United States—you know who you are!; to the late, great Edward Woodward, who brought such style and energy to the role of Robert McCall in the CBS TV series; and to the incomparable Denzel Washington, who is a fantastic movie Equalizer.
