While writing The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules (Kaffe med rån), I had a lovely group of people who helped and supported me.
They include Inger Sjöholm-Larsson, who read and provided encouragement from the very first embryo to the finished book, and Lena Sanfridson, with whom I bandied the first ideas some years ago, and who subsequently served as a source of inspiration and a sounding board throughout the journey. My grateful thanks also go to Ingrid Lindgren for reading the chapters at the express speed in which they were written, giving encouragement and making sensible observations. Likewise to Isabella Ingelman-Sundberg, who has supported me from the very start.
Thanks too to Susanne Thorson for your time and valuable comments, Kerstin Fägerblad for always reading and encouraging me however unpolished the manuscripts I send you, and Fredrik Ingelman-Sundberg for pepping me up, reading and supporting me.
I am also grateful for support and comments from Magnus Nyberg, Micke Agaton, Gunnar Ingelman, Britt-Marie Laurell, Åke Laurell, Ingegerd Jons, Helene Sundman, Anna-Stina Bohlin, Bengt Björkstén, Karin Sparring Björkstén, Agneta Lundström, Anna Rask, Mika Larsson, Erva Karlgren and Eva Rylander. I am pleased that you took the time to give me your wise comments! The help I got from you has meant a lot.
I would like to say a very special thank you to Barbara von Schönberg, who has been an invaluable force and a source of joy when it came to realizing this book.
Many are they who have helped me with valuable information, and I would like to thank the director of the Sollentuna remand prison, Hanna Järl Källberg, Lina Montanari and the Grand Hotel, who guided me during my research for the book. A warm thank you!
At the Forum publishing house I enjoyed pleasant cooperation with Adam Dahlin, Viveca Peterson, Lisselott Wennborg Ramberg, Anna Käll, Sara Lindgren and Annelie Eldh.
