Sitting in front of the blank computer screen may be a solitary activity, but seeking accuracy in a mystery requires a lot of help. I’d like to thank my friends and colleagues for their expertise. Attorneys Claudia Turrell and Patty NaPier helped Storm with her budding law career. Kellen Chong and Andrew Atkinson helped me find the North Shore neighborhoods where guys like Marty Barstow and Steve O’Reilly might live while they organized their contest. (We also checked out a few good surf breaks.) Austin Yeargan, M.D., and Burt Moritz, M.D., shared their North Shore surfing experiences, including stories of the feared caves, though I made up the one Storm discovers. Many thanks go to Karen Huffman, Michael Chapman, Michelle Calabro Hubbard, Lisa Pavel Cohen, and Honey Pavel for their assistance with the developing manuscript. Mahalo to the kind and erudite Dr. Kekuni Blaisdell for his help with the Hawaiian expression in the front of the book.
