Acknowledgements
I extend a sincere thank-you to David Smith, who read an early draft of this novel and lent encouragement with a nice line in honesty. To Her-indoors, who puts up with me spending hours in front of the second love of my life – my Apple Mac computer, which has saved me from the reality of this world so that I can live in the exciting world of Jake Robinson. And to Hayley Sherman, who did another thorough job, picking up my inconsistencies, suggesting amendments and raising pertinent queries.
