Молчаливая ночь [with w_cat]

[2] Acknowledgments

[3] This story began when my editors, Michael V. Korda and Chuck Adams, over dinner started musing about the possibility of a suspense story set on Christmas Eve in Manhattan. I became intrigued.

[4] Many thanks for that initial discussion and all the wonderful help along the way, Michael and Chuck.

[5] My agent, Eugene Winick, and my publicist, Lisl Cade, offered constant support and help. Merci and grazie, Gene and Lisl.

[6] And finally many thanks to the readers who are kind enough to look forward to my books. I wish all of you a blessed, happy, and safe holiday season.

[7] For Joan Murchison Broad, and in memory of Col. Richard L. Broad, with love and thanks for all the marvelous times we shared.

[8] St. Christopher, patron of travelers, pray for us, and protect us from evil.
