Act of Treason

Начало книги

With the exception of researching and touring, the life of a writer tends to be very solitary-never more so than when under deadline. Every year my wife, Lysa, puts up with the long hours and the fact that even when I’m home, I’m often mentally elsewhere-usually trying to figure out how Mitch Rapp is going to wring someone’s neck. I am a lucky man to be married to such an awesome woman.

To my editor, Emily Bestler, and my agent Sloan Harris, thank you yet again for your patience and sage advice. To Alan Rautbort of ICM for pushing me to write my first script. To David Brown, who in addition to being a great guy, is one fantastic publicist. To Jamie Kimmes, my new assistant-you’ve been a huge help this year. Thank you for all of your hard work.

And a special thanks to production for yet again putting up with my frantic writing schedule.
