We are tremendously grateful to the many kind, dedicated and professional individuals that work within the emergency services and who keep us updated as to how it is, in the ‘real world’ nowadays... This helps us give our readers the most realistic experience possible in our factual tales.
Our special thanks to our publisher Darren Laws and everyone at Caffeine Nights Publishing, our literary agent David H. Headley, Emily Glenister and all at DHH Literary Agency for their continued support and encouragement.
Thanks too, to West Yorkshire’s vehicle recovery experts Colin Exley and Shane Coach, Stoneywood Limited. As always the ‘devil’ for us was in the detail.
To those who bid at charity auctions, to name a character in this book, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We sincerely hope you have enjoyed the experience, and how we have utilised the information you supplied for your character. We know how important the money donated means to the charities involved.
We will be forever grateful for the love and support of our family - you all mean the world to us.
Last, but by no means least thanks to #TeamDylan - we really couldn’t do it without you!
To:
Our families, friends, police colleagues, emergency service personnel, charity workers, volunteers and fundraisers who gave us the heart, blood and bones for this book.
And, to emergency service personnel and first responders around the world for putting us all before themselves to make the world a safer place.
A special mention here to the charities that we support, in the hope that this raises public awareness, and much needed funds.
