Odd Partners is a work of fiction. Apart from the well-known actual people, events, and locales that figure in the narrative, all names, characters, places, and incidents are the products of the authors’ imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to current events or locales, or to living persons, is entirely coincidental.
