The author extends sincere appreciation to the following for their contributions:
Vicky Loyd, co-director of the Northfield Township Library, Whitmore Lake, Michigan, for everything from tracking down elusive books on antiques to offering chocolate and a printer when my computer crashed, along with my nerves.
Those wonderful and generous Michiganians on Mackinac Island: Dan and Amelia Musser, owners of the Grand Hotel; Bob Tagatz, historian, Grand Hotel; Anne St. Onge and Cindy Komblevitz of the Mackinac Island Public Library; and Police Lieutenant Pete Komblevitz.
Author Randall Platt and her husband Jonathan Platt, for Seattle expertise.
Editor Martha Bushko for her enthusiasm and knowledge, and agent Dominick Abel for bringing this opportunity my way.
Husband and comrade Loren D. Estleman: Thank you for many things, from two-way reading sessions in your study to French-pressed coffee at midnight.
