The Sleeping Doll

Author's Note

The California Bureau of Investigation, within the state's Attorney General's Office, does indeed exist, and I hope the dedicated men and women of that fine organization will forgive me for taking the liberty of reorganizing it some, and creating an office on the picturesque Monterey Peninsula. I've tinkered a bit too with the excellent Monterey County Sheriff's Office.

Similarly, I trust the residents of Capitola, near Santa Cruz, will forgive my plopping a fictional superprison down in their midst.

Those interested in the topics of kinesics and interrogation and wishing to read further might enjoy the books I've found extremely helpful and which sit prominently on Kathryn Dance's and my bookshelves: Principles of Kinesic Interview and Interrogation and The Truth about Lying, Stan B. Walters; Detecting Lies and Deceit, Aldert Vrij; The Language of Confession, Interrogation, and Deception, Roger W. Shuy; Practical Aspects of Interview and Interrogation, David E. Zulawski and Douglas E. Wicklander; What the Face Reveals, eds. Paul Ekman and Erika Rosenberg; Reading People, Jo-Ellan Dimitrius and Mark Mazzarella; Introduction to Kinesics: An Annotation System for Analysis of Body Motion and Gestures, R. L. Birdwhitsell (the dancer turned anthropologist credited with coining the term "kinesics").

And thanks, as always, to Madelyn, Julie, Jane, Will and Tina.
