I'm grateful to the following people, without who this book would never have made it from my brain to the paper. Brad, who knew I could do it again. My mom who brainstormed the ending with me . . . over and over and over again. My editor and friend Susan Downs for all her encouragement and support. My family for being there---always. Joyce and Nancy, who spent a hectic week critiquing the final version. Ellen Tarver, content and line editor extraordinaire. And Scot Hopkins, a twenty-year veteran who generously shared his time and expertise, saving me from making embarrassing police procedure errors. (If there are any mistakes of any kind, be they grammatical or procedural, I take full responsibility because that means I wasn't paying close enough attention to what people told me.)
