Events in the Falkland Islands and the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon took place pretty much as I described them here. But virtually all of the details are left out.
Prince George-Phillip obviously does not exist. Some other members of the Royal family mentioned in this story, such as Princess Alexandra, do. However, everything described about the royal family is fiction. The ABC affair, which George-Phillip describes, did happen, and was a public relations disaster for the British government at the time.
I know little about the operations of the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service. Where I couldn't find the information on Google I just made it up.

This book took a lot of help along the way to complete. I'll probably forget some people but I especially want to thank Lori Sabin for your fantastic editing, and Sally Bouley and Jackie Yeadon for your extensive assistance reading through the book.
Thanks to my beta readers: Tanya Hall, Kristen Teaff, Emma Corcoran, Kathy Baker, Wendy Wilken, Dimitra Fleissner, Laura Wilson, Bryan James, Michelle Kannan, Sarah Griffen, Amy Burt, Jennifer Mirabelli, Stacey Grice, Kirsten Papi, Beth Suit, Rita Jenkins Post, Kelly Moorhouse and Kirsty Lander. You guys looked at a lot of first draft material and have my everlasting gratitude.
To the baristas at The Thirsty Mind and Amherst Coffee, where I wrote the bulk of the book: you guys and gals are awesome.
Khalil and Amirah: thanks for putting up with your dad being distracted, overworked and sometimes addled. It's been one of the toughest years of your lives, and I'm proud of you both.
To my partner and love of my life, Andrea Randall: thank you for listening to my brainstorms and crazy ideas as I worked through this book. Living with another author means we understand each other, and it also means sometimes we're both in worlds of our own creation. But we always return home to each other. I love you.
