To my lovely and wonderful Lisa Cunningham whose new friendship has been made possible thanks to the Internet and the power of the written word. Thank you for being my friend!

I would also like to dedicate Eivissa to the memory of my cousin John whose disappearance inspired this story. Though we found his body a year after he vanished, exactly as described in this tale, we still have many unanswered questions. To all the families of lost men in the world, no greater pain is known than the unknown. My heart goes out to all of you.
