The Book of Cold Cases(99)



Thanks to the marketing and publicity team at Berkley, including Fareeda Bullert, Jin Yu, Danielle Keir, Tara O’Connor, and many others who do so much hard work putting my books into people’s hands (or in front of their eyeballs). I appreciate everything you do.

Thanks to the art department at Berkley, who go above and beyond to give me amazing covers.

Thanks to the librarians and booksellers who recommend my books—you are magic. Thanks to the bloggers and everyday readers who tell a friend, “You’ve gotta read this.” Thanks to the readers who write me nice notes, which always tend to hit my inbox on my lowest days.

Thanks to Molly and Stephanie, who talk me off the ledge over and over again, with every book. I’m always happy when I can return the favor.

Lastly, thank you to my mother, Suellen, who made me the woman I am and who passed in November 2020. I gave her an early copy of each of my books, but on release day she’d still go to her local bookstore, buy a copy, and tell the sales clerk excitedly that she was buying her daughter’s book. I was beyond lucky to have a mother so brilliant, brave, and loving. Thank you for everything, Mom. Rest well.
