ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As always, I owe a great deal of thanks to many people for the creation of this book. I start each new foray into Joe Gunther’s continuing adventures pretty much as a blank slate, dependent on those who know far more than I for the interesting details for which this series has become known. It is those experts and advisors who deserve whatever praise you might have for any interesting and arcane tidbits you’ll encounter. It is left to me to accept the blame for any inevitable mistakes and omissions left over.

My gratitude, therefore, to my readers and to the following:

 

John Martin

Nancy Polseno

Anne Emerson

Dan Davis

Rick Bates

Sally Mattson
