Chapters (110)

I would like to thank all my friends and family who offered support and survival tips. Firstly, thanks to my sister, Linda Pigott, who has always believed in me and pushed me to persevere when things got tough. Thanks to Susan McCarthy, Lindsay McQuillan and Gloria Green for their enthusiastic feedback on all my work and to Jane Badrock who encouraged me to contact Bloodhound Books, which turned out to be the best home for this novel. To Margaret Fitzpatrick who took the time to read early drafts and to the many other people who ask me every day how things are progressing.

I am so grateful to all at Bloodhound Books, especially to Betsy Reavley who believed in the manuscript on first reading and to her wonderful staff who have worked tirelessly to get it ready for publication. Morgen Bailey has been the most amazing editor with her sharp and focused attention to detail. Thanks also to Tara Lyons, whose prompt response to so many queries marks her out as a true professional.

Finally, biggest thanks of all to Neil and James, the two men in my life. Neil for giving me the time and support to get on with the job and James for promising that one day he might get around to reading my books.
