One more time, I would like to thank the real Mike Stanton, my tour guide in Providence.
I would also like to thank three dear friends who were generous with counsel and support in the writing of this book:
David Koepp, Harlan Coben, and Raymond Kelly, former Police Commissioner of the City of New York.
And finally, David and Daniel Parker, Ivan Held, Sara Minnich: Who gave me the chance to come play with the cool kids.
