Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney John Bradley; Michael
Connelly, Jonathon King, and Maggie Griffin for convincing me my
manuscript would be finished; Jennifer Barth, editor-in-chief at Henry
Holt, for her incredible work, intelligence, and creativity; Philip
Spitzer, the most loyal and supportive agent on the planet; Scott
Sroka; and, above all, my phenomenal family.
Samantha's dedication and humanitarianism are modeled on the hard work
I observed among former coworkers at the Multnomah County DA's Office.
You know who you are.
