fantastic beta readers and cheerleaders, Lucia, Harriet, and Tara. I wouldn’t have gotten this book over the line without you. I appreciated the feedback and constant reassurance from each of you.
Of course, I have to thank my two daughters, husband, and our goofy dogs for putting up with my unrelenting book-centric conversations and providing endless comedic inspiration. Your support means the world to me.
And, lastly, thank you to the members of law enforcement who genuinely put their lives on the line each day. May you never run into a real life Fat Tony.
(And on that note, citizens, please do not take it upon yourself to confront dangerous criminals. Remember what Picault said, it’s their job to catch the criminals, it’s your job not to be one.)
