Dedication
The first Bobby Dollar book was dedicated to my dear friend David Pierce. Since Dave left us, several other people I really care about have also departed—Jeff Kaye, Peggy Ford, and Iain Banks, to name just a few.
I’m glad Dave’s got such good company, but it breaks my heart they didn’t all hang out with the rest of us a bit longer.
