City of Mirrors (24 page)
Authors: Melodie Johnson-Howe
M
y deep gratitude to the team at Pegasus, especially Claiborne Hancock for his belief in Diana Poole; Helen Zimmerman for her faith in the book; Gayle Lynds, not only for her friendship, but for taking the time to read and reread the manuscript and share her invaluable observations with me; Jane Heller and Kathleen Sharp for their support and dark humor. Also, my thanks to Deputy Sheriff Mark A. Ward and Michael Williams for their knowledge of the real world of police, guns, and army. I hope I didn't go too “Hollywood” on them.
And always, Bones.
