The Body in the Fjord

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my cousin Hege Farstad for the enormous amount of help she provided—finding answers to obscure questions and checking endless details. When I was growing up, I thought she could do anything, perhaps even fly—and I still do.

Thanks as well to others of my family in Norway: Aud Christensen, Camilla Farstad, and especially Olav Christensen for the jokes.

I’m also grateful to Lasse Bakke and Gerald Eiken for information regarding the west coast of Norway. Both are wonderful storytellers.

I have taken some liberty with the architectural layouts of the Stalheim, Fleischer’s, and Kvikne’s hotels to further the plot, but other details are accurate—especially the food!

Thanks to Zachary Schisgal, my editor, on the first of our journeys together, and to Faith Hamlin, my agent, who’s been on board since the beginning, as have my dear husband and son—Alan and Nicholas—both of whom eat fiskepudding.
