supportive of my books. For that I must acknowledge Jon

and Ruth Jordan of CrimeSpree, George Easter and the

staff of Deadly Pleasures, Lynn Kaczmarek at Mystery

News, Andrew Gulli of The Strand and everyone at ITW

and MWA who allowed me into their families.

My two extraordinary families--one by birth, one by

marriage--continue to be my biggest fans and I am incredibly fortunate to have your love and support.

James Ellroy's stunning novel L.A. Confidential was

the main inspiration for this book. Thanks to your searing

tale, this story exists.

And to Susan, who has been my partner in every way,

shape and form, the person whose approval means more

to me than anything, thank you for again making me a

better writer and a better man.

These Henry Parker fans went above and beyond

helping to spread the word about my books. A sincere

thank-you to all of them. Stacy Alesi, Alex Bash, Will
