ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

In the course of writing this book I had to contact the FBI. It’s safe to say they exceeded my expectations in both the time it took them to get back to me (literally, days) and the wealth of information they supplied.

Any errors you may find in this book are due to the fact that story is king,

and honestly, reality isn’t always all that awesome anyway.

DEDICATION

You wouldn’t be holding this book if it wasn’t for my girls:

Becky Avella, Heather Humrichouse,

Hilarey Johnson and Kristine McCord.

Not only fantastic writers in their own right,

they’re also the best critique group in the world.

Thank you doesn’t begin to cover it.

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father

and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters,

yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."

Luke 14:26
