To all those who love searching for the truth and solving mysteries.
I wish to extend a heartfelt thank-you to secret, undercover agent MaryAnn Kohl. You believed in this project before anyone else and remained the enthusiastic cheerleader throughout every step. This wouldnt have happened without you. To each person on the Chicago Review team who worked on this projectthank you for your patience and expertise.
Im grateful to Jan Peck and all the brilliant writers at the Nest Critique Group. You thoughtfully listened to many excerpts from the manuscript and gave me valuable input and encouragement.
I sincerely appreciate those who graciously took time to share their professional experiences and knowledge with me in interviews: Barrie Schwortz, J. Warner Wallace, Tony Fullman, and Dixie Peters. Thank you for answering my many questions!
To my husband, Robb, and the rest of my familyyour love and encouragement kept the wind in my sails on a very long but fascinating forensics journey.
