I’d like to thank my wife Amy and our three children, Maya, Elliot and Thomas, for being amazing.
I’d also like to thank my editor, Vicki Mellor, my literary agent, Hannah Sheppard, and my screen agent, Christine Glover. I’m extremely grateful for all the hard work and support from Gillian Green, Kate Tolley, Hannah Corbett, Sarah Arratoon, Matthew Cole, Jeremy Trevathan and the whole team at Pan Macmillan. I’d also like to express my gratitude to Andrew Belshaw for looking after me at events, Jot Davies for the wonderful work he did on the Black 13 audiobook, and Fraser Crichton for his attention to detail copy-editing the Scott Pearce books.
I’m also extremely grateful for all the kind words and support I’ve had from friends and family, and for the help I’ve had from so many writers who’ve generously shared their advice and experiences. I’d also like to thank all the reviewers, booksellers, journalists and readers who have helped spread the word about my books.
As always, I’d like to thank you, the reader, for giving Scott Pearce, Leila Nahum and the team your attention. I hope you enjoyed the book and that you’ll join us for another thrilling adventure.
