Dedication

This book is dedicated to the Trailertopians – you’ve become my own personal cheerleading squad that keeps me encouraged, but also helps me spot errors. I can’t imagine anything more valuable to a writer. You guys amaze me.

Acknowledgements

My most sincere gratitude goes to Matt Sherley for answering my numerous questions about crime scene investigations and police procedure. Any errors in those areas are entirely my own.

My thanks also to Dr. William Lawson, who helped me early on in determining just what the deal was going to be with this book. Dr. Lawson wrote a paper called Soil Sampling on Sword Beach, which became the inspiration for Donald Baucum’s WWII service. Do yourself a favor: Google that paper and read it. I am going out on a limb to guarantee it will be the most fascinating paper you’ll ever read about soil sampling. 

Thanks also to Kelly Hunt for helping me get the scenes with Tri-Patrice’s job right, for being my sounding board when I get stuck, and for the idea about the difference between how Europeans and Americans write the date.

And as always, my eternal gratitude to Darryl Harris, husband-slash-author-assistant extraordinaire. It all finally started coming together when you got on the team, and I’m loving every second of it.

Note from the Author

This is a work of fiction, but as with most fiction, some of the things in it are true. Here’s a quick overview:

Injection wells used in the hydro-fracking of oil are associated with earthquakes: True. However, these quakes are relatively small, and no major damage has been caused by them such as the damage described in this book.

People in West Texas don’t know what Earl Grey tea is. False. Sorry.

Allied forces conducted soil sampling on French beaches before the D-Day Invasion: True, except in the real mission, no American troops were involved.

Women pilots flew in the WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) program to ferry planes to men in combat, and they trained in Sweetwater, Texas: True, and you really should visit the WASP Museum there. It’s awesome. http://www.waspmuseum.org/index.html

These women were righteous and amazing: Also true.

Everything sounds better in a British accent: True, obviously.
