TO PHYLLIS GRANN
YOU ARE A TREMENDOUS PUBLISHING TALENT.
THANK YOU FOR TWELVE INCREDIBLE YEARS.
CATHERINE COULTER
I would like to thank Producer and Assistant Director John Isabeau for his relentless pursuit on my behalf to see my FBI books made into films. When everything finally comes together, it will be because of his efforts.
Thank you, John, you’re the best.
I would like to thank Inspector Sherman Ackerson and Spokesman Dewayne Tully for showing me around the main cop shop on Bryant Street (the San Francisco Hall of Justice), and answering every question.
I would like to thank Dr. Boyd Stephens, San Francisco medical examiner, who graciously showed me his facilities and answered all my questions, even the gruesome ones.
