Cold as Ice

Acknowledgements

My thanks and gratitude go to all the people who helped me write this book:

Detective Inspector Dave Willis (retired), Neil Rickard, Frank Pearman, Crime Analyst Catherine Ash. All the police officers who happily answer my questions. The Canal Museum staff in Kings Cross. My family, who help me with medical queries. The unsung heroes: friends and family, who listen to my ideas for stories and are invaluable in their feedback. They are: Norma Saunders and Noreen Carew, Beccy at Visage, Della at True Colours, mum, sisters Clare and Sue and kids Ginny and Robert. They are all invaluable in helping to push me over the bumps on my story road.

Of course, I wouldn’t have got off the starting blocks without the massive help of my agent Darley Anderson, and the team, and Emma Lowth and the whole Simon & Schuster team, who have made me very welcome.

Big thanks to all my readers who email me with their ideas and suggestions and especially their support.
