Author's Notes and Acknowledgments
Because of the utterly bizarre stories and characters in this book, I am concerned that some episodes will be misread as insensitive or irreverent attempts at dark humor. With the exception of occasional playful banter between police officers, this book is incrediblenot funny.
I firmly believe in the necessity of historians keeping their personal passion out of their writing, but that was very difficult to do with this book. I cannot imagine how anyone could report this story and not be outraged. For me, this was an intensely powerful personal journey, but my documentation is exhaustive, and it speaks for itself. I also freely admit to having a great admiration for the remarkable men and women who brought McDuff to justice.
This is a work of non-fiction; all of the characters are/were real people and all of the episodes are documented through interviews, official records, sworn statements, or eyewitness testimony. I have tried to make clear those few instances where I have drawn conclusions or made assumptions.
