My sincerest thanks to Guy Chambers, dear friend to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for fishing the opening pages out of the sea (yes, it’s true – that doesn’t just happen in movies); the fabulous Sharon Kendrick, an early encourager; my excellent literary agent, Cathryn Summerhayes at William Morris Endeavour; everyone at Quercus – my copyeditor, Margaret Histed, the publicists and especially my fantastic editor, Jo Dickinson, who saw the potential and the heart of the story and made it so much better; Tom Winchester and Jo Wright at Bentley Productions, for acquiring television option rights; Portia Rosenberg for her atmospheric illustrations; Alex Harris and Andrew Hiles for a website that does the book proud; all the helpful librarians at the Senate House Library for their permission to reproduce extracts from the Harry Price Library; the employees at the Bull Inn, near Borley and the residents of that quiet hamlet; friends with feedback, including Jurij Senyshyn and Jon Harrison for reading and commenting on early drafts and help with historical accuracies; Owen Meredith, for his patience; my family, for their unfailing support and love; and my brother, James, whose feedback on the text was extremely helpful.
Large portions of this novel were written under the Umbrian sun at Giardinello. Thanks to Guy Black and Mark Boland for your endlessly flowing hospitality.
