The Crossing

Acknowledgments

The author enjoyed the company and help of many fine people during the research, writing, and editing of this novel. Many thanks go to the real detectives — Tim Marcia, Rick Jackson, Mitzi Roberts, and David Lambkin — for their efforts to make Harry Bosch and his world as real as possible. Other readers whose help was just as important include Daniel Daly, Roger Mills, Henrik Bastin, John Houghton, Terrill Lee Lankford, Jane Davis, Heather Rizzo, and Linda Connelly. Additionally, thanks go to researcher Dennis “Cisco” Wojciechowski (watch-your-house-key). Three fine editors somehow made sense of the whole mess and to them the greatest debt of thanks is owed: Asya Muchnick, Bill Massey, and Pamela Marshall.

Many thanks to all.
