Exiles (Aaron Falk #3)(120)

My gratitude once again to the vast teams of people who have worked so hard to bring this book to readers, including Claire Craig, Clare Keighery, Ingrid Ohlsson, Cate Paterson, Charlotte Ree, and Danielle Walker at Pan Macmillan Australia; Christine Kopprasch, Amelia Possanza, Nancy Trypuc, and Maxine Charles at Flatiron Books; and Vicki Mellor and Lucy Hale at Pan Macmillan UK.

A huge thank you to my agents: Fiona Inglis and Benjamin Paz at Curtis Brown Australia; Gordon Wise, Liz Dennis, and Caoimhe White at Curtis Brown UK; Daniel Lazar at Writers House; and Jerry Kalajian at the Intellectual Property Group.

My love and appreciation as always to my family—Mike Harper, Helen Harper, Ellie Harper, Michael Harper, Susan Davenport and her parents Keith and Diane Davenport—who read and supported my books from the very start, and to Ivy, Ava, and Isabel Harper.

To my beautiful children, Charlotte and Ted Strachan, who inspired all the best parts of Eva and Henry Raco, and to my husband, Peter Strachan, who inspires all the best parts of everything; thank you for what you do to make these books possible. I love you very much.
