Acknowledgements

As always, I must first thank my wonderful readers. Thank you for reading, reviewing, and recommending my books to others. Thank you for your relentless enthusiasm, which keeps me going.

Thank you to my husband Fred and daughter Morgan for keeping me motivated to finish this book and for knowing exactly what to say whenever I got frustrated. Thank you to my parents: William Regan, Donna House, Rusty House, Joyce Regan, and Julie House, my constant and ardent companions on this amazing journey. Thank you to my most trusted friends and first readers, all of whom are incredible writers: Nancy S. Thompson, Dana Mason, and Katie Mettner. You ladies are my lifeline, and I could not do this without you! Thank you so much to Torese Hummel for your passion, honesty, and willingness to help me become a better writer! Thank you to Susan Sole for so many words of encouragement and support—always coming when I needed it most. Thank you as well to the following friends and family members who cheer me on and spread the word without fail: Melissia McKittrick, Ava McKittrick, Andy Brock, Kevin and Christine Brock, Michael J. Infinito Jr., Carrie A. Butler, Helen Conlen, Marilyn House, Dennis and Jean Regan, Laura Aiello, Tracy Dauphin, and the Tralies, Conlen, Funk and Regan families.

Thank you so very much to Sergeant Jason Jay for once again answering so many of my police work questions in such great detail. I am in your debt!

Finally, thank you to Jessie Botterill for your brilliant suggestions. It astounds me how much you are able to pull out of me. I am humbled and blessed to be working with you.
