Acknowledgments

I am indebted to many individuals for contributions to the writing and accuracy of this book.

Police officers, prosecuting attorneys, jail employees and members of their staffs, courthouse employees, librarians, and journalists have all had a hand in its production, from the initial concept to the completed manuscript.

Among those deserving of special acknowledgment for their help are Todd Blevins, a reporter for the Richmond Register; Beulah Phelps, a civilian employee at the Madison County Detention Center; and Deborah Garrison of the Department of Public Advocacy—all in Richmond; and Roger Jordan in Cincinnati.

Thanks also go, of course, to my agent Tony Seidl of T. D. Media; and especially to my editor, Charles Spicer, for suggesting I write the Glen Rogers story.
