I am grateful and want to acknowledge those who helped with the research of this novel.
"I extend my deepest appreciation to retired LAPD Detective, Rosalie Garcia. Her willingness to share her knowledge into the delicate subject matter of juvenile sex crimes was instrumental in making this story work.
I would also like to thank retired LAPD Officer Ray Serna, who shared an on-duty experience that inspired a scene in this book. His personal anecdote lent gallows humor to the story which every cop sees and understands.
I also want to thank retired LAPD Police Service Representatives: Connie Troutt, Cathi Pearson, Kim Alas, and Martha Uolla. Their combined expertise helped to keep my identification of dispatching equipment authentic, and I am thankful for their contribution."
