ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A huge thank you for the continuing encouragement and support of a brilliant bunch of fellow authors in ‘the Collective’ – you know who you are! I also owe my thanks to early readers of Jericho’s second case for their insights, advice, and keen editorial oversight: Hanna Elizabeth, Dawn Andrew, and Debbie Scarrow. The incredible cover art is the work of Meg Cowley.
Thanks again to my family – almost all showpeople themselves – for those long talks and reminiscences about fairground life and legends. Scott Jericho may be fictional but the world he inhabits is as real and vibrant as anyone could wish. I hope readers have been intrigued, not only by this story, but by a glimpse behind the curtain of this still largely hidden way of life.
If you have enjoyed SILENCING THE DEAD, I really would appreciate you taking a moment to leave a review. Just a few short words will do. It will help other readers like you find the book and encourages word-of-mouth support so that there can be more in the series!
