ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

If I had to thank everyone who helped me on this book, the list would be several pages long. But I wanted to be sure to thank the following people for all their help and support: First is my wonderful editor at Pinnacle Books, Karen Haas, and my terrific literary agent, Damaris Rowland. I’d also like to thank Paul Dinas for giving me a chance to do this book. I couldn’t have gathered all the facts without the help of newspaper reporters Christina Proctor, Cory Fisher, and David Holbrook, or without law enforcement agents David Trimble, Patrick St. John, and Michelle Quattrin. Lastly, thanks to Cameron Wallace, Mark Lee Chapman, Shelley Stafford, Sandi Thomas, and Jan Olson.
