I want to thank my friends at Putnam, especially Neil Nyren and Michael Barson, for guiding me through my first year.
I should acknowledge my agent, Peter Rubie, whose odd mind provided the impetus for the story.
My good friend Reed F. Coleman came up with the title Shock Wave. I am in his debt.
I would also like to thank all the cops out there who supported me on the launch of my first book. You guys are the best.
