Acknowledgments

Thanks to retired Supervisory Special Agent Drucilla L. Wells, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Behavioral Analysis Unit. She makes Alex Donovan possible. I loved sneaking into Quantico, learning more about the BAU and the FBI Academy. Maybe someday you can show me the real thing. You’re the best!

To Dr. Richard Mabry for the medical information. When you’re trying to unleash a deadly virus on the world, you need someone with his expertise. (Not sure that sounds right . . . ha-ha!) I hope my readers will check out his medical thrillers if you haven’t already. They’re fantastic!

My heartfelt thanks to my friend Donita Corman for allowing me to borrow her wonderful husband. I hope I did him justice, Donita. I wish I could have met him. When we get to heaven, please introduce me. Lots of love.

Thank you to Raela Schoenherr for allowing me to write this new series. And once again, a big thank-you to Jean Bloom for her editing help.
