The Information Officer

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As ever, I owe a big debt of gratitude to my agent, Stephanie Cabot, for her tireless enthusiasm and support. I would also like to thank my editors, Jennifer Hershey and Julia Wisdom, for their expert insights and guidance. My thanks also go to Bara MacNeill.

Of the many books I read while researching the story, I would like to make special mention of Malta Magnificent by Francis Gerard, as well as Fortress Malta, James Holland’s vivid and entirely compelling account of the island’s wartime trials.
