My thanks to my old friend Bill for his knowledge of police firearms tactics and the occasional slap on the back of the head to keep things real.
Thanks also to Ray for providing one of the characters, and a very special thanks to my father Ted Farman for patiently correcting grammar and punctuation.
And lastly of course my thanks to all the many and varied personalities I have met during both my careers over the years, both the good and the bad varieties, who have unwittingly added to this story.
