Deepest appreciation to the old crew, Rick, Chris and Mark,
for the advance comments on this novel. And to Courtney, Cam and David Keck for
their friendship. Thanks as always to Clare and Bowen, to Simon Taylor and his
compatriots at Transworld; to Steve Donaldson, Ross and Perry; Peter and Nicky
Crowther, Patrick Walsh and Howard Morhaim. And to the staff at Tony’s Bar
Italia for this, the second novel fuelled by their coffee.
