The Hypnotist

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To Lou Pitt, who certainly proved to me that reincarnation exists by helping this series find a new incarnation as the television series Past Life.

To everyone at MIRA Books-especially my wonderful editor, Margaret O’Neill Marbury, and Adam Wilson.

As always the thought of writing any book without Lisa Tucker and Douglas Clegg seems impossible-I hope the impossible never happens.

To Jerry Hooten-if there are any factual errors having to do with security issues and investigative techniques they all are mine, not his.

To Susan O’Doherty, who saves me so much time and grief and so much of my sanity.

A huge thank-you to readers, booksellers, librarians everywhere.

To my wonderful family. And to Doug.
