Once again I find myself deeply indebted to my agent, Phyllis Westberg, and my editor, Keith Clayton, for their persistence, diligence, and general midwifery along this lengthy road. It’s not hyperbole: I couldn’t have done it without them.

I owe a long overdue salute to my parents, Paul Schreiber and Kathy Peer-bolte, for always believing in me and encouraging me for as long as I can remember.

Mad props to Martin “Mr. Wiggles” Sweeney for providing the fully loaded iPod during the last revision process, when I needed it most.

Thank you again, Christina and kids, for giving me the time and space to keep writing.

Finally, I am grateful to the staff and all my coworkers at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, in particular George Stoltz, for a memorable tour through the underground tunnels and lesser-known passageways of that facility.

The hospital within these pages is a work of fiction.

About the Author

JOE SCHREIBER was born in Michigan but spent his formative years in Alaska, Wyoming, and Northern California. Until recently, he had never lived at the same address for longer than a year. Becoming a parent forced him to consider a career with a more reliable income, so he took a job as an MRI tech in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife and their two children.
