- ABOUT THE PUBLISHER
Louis Toscano, my dear friend and longtime editor, made countless improvements to the novel, large and small. My eagle-eyed personal copy editor, Kathy Crosby, made certain the text was free of typographical and grammatical errors. Any mistakes that slipped through their formidable gauntlet are mine, not theirs.
It goes without saying that this book could not have been published without the support of my team at HarperCollins, but I shall say it anyway, for they are the best in the business. A special thanks to Jonathan Burnham, Brian Murray, Michael Morrison, Jennifer Barth, Josh Marwell, Tina Andreadis, Leslie Cohen, Leah Wasielewski, Robin Bilardello, Mark Ferguson, Kathy Schneider, Brenda Segel, Carolyn Bodkin, Doug Jones, Katie Ostrowka, Erin Wicks, Shawn Nicholls, Amy Baker, Mary Sasso, David Koral, and Leah Carlson-Stanisic. A heartfelt thanks as well to my legal team, Michael Gendler and Linda Rappaport, for their support and wise counsel.
I consulted hundreds of books, newspaper and magazine articles, and Web sites while preparing this manuscript, far too many to name here. I would be remiss, however, if I did not mention the extraordinary scholarship and reporting of Martin Dillon, Peter Taylor, Ken Connor, Mark Urban, John Mooney and Michael O’Toole, and Toby Harnden, author of the seminal study of the South Armagh Brigade.
Finally, this novel, like the previous fourteen books in the Gabriel Allon series, could not have been written without the assistance of David Bull. Unlike the fictitious Gabriel Allon, David truly is one of the finest art restorers in the world, and I am lucky to have him as a friend. If men such as David ran the world, my hero would live a very quiet life indeed. Perhaps he would have had a chance to restore that Caravaggio. And, doubtless, he would have asked David for advice before ever laying a finger on it.
