My mom, Irene Friend, decided that if I was going to write a novel that took place in London, I should probably hang out there awhile. Thanks to her, we spent a marvelous week in a flat on Red Lion Square, joined by my sister Sandy and my aunt Gladys, and we had a blast exploring the city. Thanks, Mom, for all your support.
I’d also like to thank my patient and eagle-eyed readers Ann Etter, Carolyn Sampson, Irene Friend, Phyllis Root, Kris Ferguson, Brent and Karen Bjorngard, and Kathy Connolly. A special thanks to everyone at Bold Strokes, especially my ever-patient editor, Cindy Cresap, and cover designer, Sheri, for creating a gorgeous cover that far surpassed the one I’d imagined in my head.
Last but certainly not least, a big hug of thanks to my best cheerleader, my wife, Melissa Peteler.
