Thank you so very much to Sgt. Jason Jay for answering all my law-enforcement questions so quickly and in such great detail that I can get things as close to authentic as fiction will allow. You are truly wonderful!

Last but certainly not least, thank you to the incomparable Jessie Botterill for making every one of my dreams come true, for believing in me and my work, for “getting” my work in ways no one else ever has, and for just being completely and utterly awesome.
