The book would not have been possible without technical advice, so for Silas’s wizardry with a computer, my grateful thanks go to AndyB of the Enemy Boat Spotted (EBS) community. Additional thanks to Garry Griffiths for advice on a police matter, and to Paul for helping with my eleventh hour plot holes again.
Finally, thanks to my family. To my mum for reading the first half and telling me it wasn’t dreadful at all, because I can tell if she’s lying and she wasn’t. To Paul, for keeping everything together in a few months of very tight timeline to get the book finished. To Joshua, for understanding when I was busy. And to Orlaith, for sleeping like an angel so I could get the book written at all. It has been a very special year for us and I am so lucky to have all of you.
