Last but not least, thank you to Joel Richardson, editor and publisher extraordinaire. Thanks to you and the amazing team at Twenty7 for making this book the very best it could be.
Without working in the medical profession I would not have been able to draw on past experiences (I promise no nasty stuff ever happened, bar eating patients’ left-over cold toast), and I would not be able to give true praise to the medical and police professionals out there fighting the good fight to make all our lives better. There are no finer people.
For you, mum – who I miss sharing books with.
And for Darcie – who I love reading to.
