ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
To Michelle, it's hard to believe, novel number ten and counting. I wouldn't have wanted to share the ride with anyone else.
To Rick Horgan, for helping me see the forest
To Maureen, Jamie and Larry, for all you do, and for being such terrific friends.
To Tina Andreadis, for being a dear friend and a major reason why the public knows who I am.
To the rest of the Warner Books crew for all your hard work and support. I know the books don't sell themselves.
To Aaron Priest, for always being there for me.
To Lucy Childs and Lisa Erbach Vance, for all that you do.
To Maria Rejt, for your thoughtful editorial comments.
To Dr. Monica Smiddy, for all your forensics wizardry. You'd make a great teacher.
To Dr. Marcella Fierro, for patiently answering all of my questions and giving me a behind-the-scenes look at the medical examiner's office in Richmond.
To Dr. Catherine Broome, for making this author seem far more knowledgeable about medical matters than I actually am.
To Bob Schule, my resident wine expert, stellar proofreader and great friend.
To Dr. Alli Guleria and her husband, Dr. Anshu Guleria, for helping me on medical matters, for allowing me to borrow your really cool cars for the story and for being such wonderful friends. Consultants are great, aren't they?
