ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks first and foremost to my editor, Anne Perry. She’s superb, with a really great eye for what makes characters tick. I think that both Chan and Rex are a hell of a lot more complete because of her.

Thank you also to the rest of the Hodder crew in the UK and the US, and everybody else who has helped to get the books shipshape, onto shelves, and into people’s hands.

Thanks to Sam Copeland and all at RCW for their hard work.

And lastly, massive gratitude to Cath, Will, and Amy for listening to me witter about the plot of this thing almost endlessly for the past few months.
