Second Shot

Начало книги

Writing this book would not have been possible but for the patience and understanding of a number of very special people who allowed me to pick their brains without a murmur. They are, in no particular order, fellow mystery author D. P. Lyle, M.D., for his superb detailed medical information; other fellow mystery authors Fred Rea and James O. Born, for gun stuff and for U.S. law enforcement info; gunshot wound survivor Mick Botterill, for his unique insights; fellow mystery author and lawyer Randall Hicks, for legal info and for attempting to keep me straight on some of my accidental Britishisms; and friend Lucette Nicol, for filling in some of the bits of Boston I’d forgotten. As always, if it’s wrong, it’s probably my invention.

Other answers to probably stupid questions were given freely, and with grace, by Barbara Franchi, MaryEllen Stagliano, and Jann Briesacher, as well as a number of the enthusiastic contributors to the DorothyL Web site. Thank you all for your invaluable assistance.
