ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
No book, especially a first one, comes about without the support of many people. First and foremost, thank you to everyone at Minotaur Books and Mystery Writers of America for giving me what is truly a unique opportunity.
Special thanks go to Kelley Ragland, who has been a wonderful collaborator and terrific advocate, and to those at St. Martin’s Press who helped to bring this book to publication.
Thanks to David Hale Smith for excellent advice and guidance.
This novel was tremendously improved by those who read portions of it as a work in progress: Marianne Donley, Gita Trelease, Karen Odden, Barbara Fischer, and especially Natalie Kapetanios Meir, whose ready encouragement and keen insight were invaluable.
Thanks to all my family—but to no one more than Craig, who always believed this day would come. He is a tireless and dedicated creative partner, without whom this book would not have been possible.
Finally, in grateful memory of Elaine Flinn, who first discovered me. No one could have been more generous and encouraging.
While nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer;
nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
—attributed to Fyodor Dostoevsky
