Acknowledgements

My wife Claudia has been my partner in life and writing for almost thirty years now, so my most heartfelt thanks are, as always, to her. And I’ve been working for almost as long with the very brilliant Mark Lucas and Bill Scott-Kerr, so a big thanks to them, and to Eloisa Clegg and the fantastic and dedicated team at Transworld.
