The Samurai Inheritance

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Enormous thanks to my friend Corfiot Magda Rapsomaniki for providing the inspiration for the next Jamie Saintclair outing and unwittingly supplying my new heroine’s first name. To Martina Stammler at the Staatsbibliothek Zu Berlin for her help in tracking down 1936 bound copies of the Berliner Morgenpost for me. And to Doug Stewart in Australia for his background knowledge on military matters. To Simon my editor and all at Transworld for their input and encouragement and last, but not least, to my agent Stan, for keeping the faith.
