The Perfect Alibi

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As usual, I had a lot of help in writing and researching this novel. I want to thank Earl S. Ward, for helping me understand the way probalistic genotyping is used in connection with DNA evidence and Dennis Balske, for providing me with cases that discussed a fascinating legal issue.

My editor, Keith Kahla, helped turn my initial flawed efforts into a finished product that I hope readers found entertaining. Thanks also for the fantastic support I received from Hector DeJean, Martin Quinn, Alice Pfeifer, Sally Richardson, Eliani Torres, Ken Silver, and David Rotstein at St. Martin’s.

Thanks, as always, to my amazing agent, Jennifer Weltz, and everyone else at the Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency. You are the best.

Thanks, too, to the home team, Ami, Andy, Daniel, Amanda, Loots, Marissa, and my wife, Melanie Nelson, who helped me find happiness again.
