There are so many people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to get a book from me to you. It’s astounding that the words that come out of my head, through my fingers and into a Word document will become a beautiful finished product. And all of the books in the All the Queen’s Spies series are so, so beautiful. I want to thank everyone who put their fingerprint on this book—from my agent to my editor and fine-line editor, to the graphic designers and everyone else. I am sure there are more that I’m not even aware of. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and the tips of my work-worn fingers.
