The Delicate Storm

Acknowledgements

I owe a debt of thanks to the following people who read troublesome early drafts of The Delicate Storm and made crucial suggestions for cuts and improvements: Anne Collins, my editor at Random House Canada; my agent, Helen Heller; my editor at HarperCollins, Julia Wisdom; and my editor at Penguin Putnam, Marian Wood.

Thanks are also due to Staff Sergeant Rick Sapinski of the North Bay Police, who was generous with information on police methods; to Daniel Johnson, who did extensive research; and to the Writers Room in New York.
