Acknowledgments

I depend on practicing lawyers (and a judge) to help me remember what it was like: Milton A. Hirsch, Bruce H. Fleischer, Alfonso J. Perez, Juan Ramirez, Eugene W. Sulzberger, and David Waksman. For details of police procedure, I am grateful to crime-scene technicians David Gilbert and Gerald J. Reichardt; Detective Ramesh Nyberg, Miami-Dade Homicide Bureau; and Reinhard W. Motte, M.D., Associate Medical Examiner. Physicians Jodie Boggs and Ayse-gul Ozbek provided medical information; Jill B. Shave and Ken Rampone shared their knowledge of boats; Leslie Curtis and Shari Little made the world of ballet come alive; and Jill Cannady and Bob Sinde-lir helped me create the art gallery at Coconut Grove. Many thanks to you all. For correcting my Spanish, gracias to Alicia Abreu, Liced Abreu, and Vivian Llanos. Tete Portela gave me lovely details about Anthony's grandmother. And finally, Bobby Gonzalez sends his appreciation to James, Jennifer, and Valerie, who put the words in his mouth. Any errors of fact or interpretation are mine.
