ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many, many thanks to Gerry Considine for hours of help in explaining the Scottish legal system and for handing me plot twists on a plate. Also to Tommy Smith and a nameless officer of the Crown for explaining the ins and outs of the High Court. The Media and Information Service of the Strathclyde Police Department also helped. Thanks again to Selina Walker, Rachel Calder and Katrina Whone, all of whom love attention and will be thrilled at a mention. Particular thanks are due to Stephen Evans for Kilty's joke about the shark documentary, among many, many other things.

I'd like to thank all the kind souls who, over the course of this series, have, uncomplainingly, let me steal their jokes. Those who did complain will be dealt with forthwith, future jokes notwithstanding. You know who you are. Start running.
