The First Rule Of Survival (48 page)

Everything that is procedurally correct is down to my wonderful police adviser, SAPS Warrant Officer Marianne Steyn; everything else is my doing and, basically, fictional.

I have asked all my Cape Town friends endless questions. Thank you to the Birch clan: Arch, Tas, Simon, Jane, Lannie, Peter, Kate and Lindsay; also to Johan, Eben, Robert, Tania and Matthew K.

During the course of writing this book, I consulted many links online; to those writers and bloggers who have mainly subconsciously influenced me, many thanks.
