I’d like to thank the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife division for allowing me to ride along with an officer to learn all the ins and outs of the job. Special thanks also go out to Judy Melinek, M.D. for answering my pathology questions, Dr. Lowell Euhus for explaining about the Wallowa County Medical Examiner’s job, my son-in-law for answering my strange questions about law and weapons, and my niece, who helped with the legal information.

While this book and other books in the series are set in Wallowa County, Oregon, I have changed the town names to old forgotten towns that were in the county at one time.  I also took the liberty of changing the towns up and populating the county with my own characters, none of which are in anyway a representation of anyone who is or has ever lived in Wallowa County. Other than the towns, I have tried to use the real names of all the geographical locations.
