\tAs a general rule, I enjoy researching all of my novels. Murder, mayhem, investigative procedures, it\u2019s all good stuff. This time around, however, I had a particularly wonderful experience, and for that I\u2019m deeply indebted to the Rhode Island State Police. Not only are they one of the best law enforcement agencies in the country, but they are also helpful, generous and patient people. From explaining the proper protocol for rendering a salute to demonstrating the new AFIS technology, the officers went out of their way to answer my questions and impress upon me the pride they have in their organization. It worked. I\u2019m very impressed by the RI State Police, and I have even started following the speed limit. Well, okay, so the latter half only lasted for a bit. I tried and that says something about their powers of persuasion right there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tOf course, as with all novels, I promptly warped most of the information they graciously provided. In this novel you\u2019ll find police procedure and forensics testing happening at approximately the speed of light. Also, my police detectives are perhaps a tad rougher around the edges and a bit more familiar with murder suspects than their real-life counterparts. Remember, the RI State Police detectives have real jobs. I, on the other hand, am a fiction writer who makes things up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tI would like to thank the following members of the RI State Police for their assistance: former Superintendent Colonel Edmond S. Culhane, Jr. (ret.); Superintendent Colonel Steven M. Pare; Major Michael Quinn; Inspector John J. Leyden, Jr.; Lieutenant John Virgilio; Lieutenant Mark Bilodeau; Corporal Eric L. Croce; and Detective James Dougherty.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tFrom the Providence Police Department I would like to thank Lieutenant Paul Kennedy and Sergeant Napoleon Brito. They also gave me the warmest reception, as well as a wonderful collection of gory anecdotes. Let\u2019s just say I never fully appreciated the history of dismemberment in the Ocean State before visiting the PPD.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tFinally, I owe the following people my deepest gratitude for assisting me in the development of this novel:<\/span><\/p>\n

\tDr. Gregory K. Moffatt, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Atlanta Christian College, a wonderful friend and a very wise man.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tAlbert A. Bucci, Assistant to the Director, State of Rhode Island Department of Corrections, who provided a highly enthusiastic overview of prison life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tMargaret Charpentier, pharmacist and general shoulder to cry on, as well as her fellow pharmacist\/partner in crime, Kate Strong.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tMonique Lemoine, speech language pathologist and very kind soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tKathy Hammond, phlebotomist, Rhode Island Blood Center, and my bloodsucker of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tJim Martin, Public Information Officer, Department of the Attorney General, Rhode Island.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tThe Providence Preservation Society.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tKathleen Walsh, executive assistant and overall savior of my sanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tAnd finally, my very tolerant husband, Anthony. This time around, it was his Ghirardelli double-chocolate brownies that saved the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tOnce again, all mistakes in the novel are mine. Anything you think is particularly brilliant I\u2019ll take responsibility for as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tHappy reading! <\/span>Lisa Gardner<\/span><\/p>\n
