ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I’d like to thank my agent Barbara Braun. Her efforts on my behalf are as helpful to my confidence as her perceptive comments are to my manuscripts. She helped me make this a much better novel.
Many thanks are owed to Kate and Tim Nolan whose thoughtful examinations of my characters and suggestions for making them work better contributed much to this series.
More thanks to Sandy Bryson and her book Police Dog Tactics. What Owen and Spot know of K9 techniques come from Sandy’s expertise.
Thanks as well to Elise and Richard Erickson and the staff at Neighbor’s Bookstore in Caesars Tahoe for their ideas and support.
Much credit is due to forensic entomologist M. Lee Goff, author of A Fly For The Prosecution. His ground-breaking work in forensic entomology is the foundation on which I based Street’s career. I owe him a great deal and only hope I haven’t made too many entomological mistakes in my story.
And, because people do judge a book by its cover, special thanks to Keith Carlson for his fantastic cover design.
Most of all, I would like to thank my wife Kit who provided me with tremendous writing support, gave Owen his fix on great art, and was my editor and story coach throughout. She is in possession of one of those rare detectors that Hemingway spoke of, and her ability to separate good writing from bad is a gift beyond words.
