My Brother’s Keeper (21 page)
Thanks to my agent, Daniel Myers, for his expert advice and encouragement. Thanks as always to my family for their generosity and kindness, and to Max for his expertise; to Bella Leia for reminding me of the strength of innocence and to Mischa for the importance of humour. And thanks to Ian, my partner in life and crime.

Surrender

This is a work of fiction. While many places are real, the events and incidents are products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to the behaviour or appearance of actual persons holding positions similar to characters in the story is coincidental and unintentional.
