Any errors regarding the geography, fauna, or customs of the island of Santa Catalina are solely those of the author. Those familiar with Catalina and the Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel will know that the bar depicted in this novel is fictitious, as is the Black Marlin Club and the Harbormaster’s Tower. Catalina is a beautiful place. Please visit and support the Catalina Island Conservancy at catalinaconservancy.org if you can.
