The Turin Shroud Secret

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First and foremost the biggest possible thanks to Luigi Bonomi and his team at LBA for invaluable guidance, encouragement and fun. Big, big gratitude to all at Little,Brown/Sphere — especially David Shelley for faith and support, Daniel Mallory for inspiration and energy, and Iain Hunt for perspiration and imagination. Behind all great men are great ladies and they don’t come greater than Andy Hine, Kate Hibbert and Helena Doree in international rights and Kate Webster and Hannah Hargrave in marketing and publicity. I’m hugely indebted to Professor Guy Rutty, MBE, Head of Forensic Pathology, East Midlands Forensic Pathology Unit, University of Leicester, for his guidance and patience over the crime scenes — any deviations from fact are down to me and not him. Special thanks to ‘Scary Jack’ at Everett Baldwin Barclay for knowing what Donna and I never know. Finally to everyone who read The Stonehenge Legacy and wrote or posted on www.facebook.com/samchrister.
