Sly Fox: A Dani Fox Novel (49 page)

My former District Attorney staff, including Chief Assistant Richard E. Weill; Executive Assistant David Hebert; Annemarie Corbalis, who fought in the trenches with me in the Domestic Violence Unit; and Roseanne Paniccia, my assistant and gatekeeper who always keeps me organized. Also, to Deborah Trevorah for putting in countless hours of transcribing and typing this manuscript.

To Al Pirro, who actually lived those years with me and whose recollection of the lunacy surrounding my early years in the district attorney’s office is uncanny. His wisdom and brilliant mind never cease to amaze me. Thanks, Al, for your contributions to this book.

Finally, to my two children, Kiki and Alex, who have both chosen to follow their parents’ footsteps into the legal profession. May they each find as much satisfaction and challenge in their pursuit of justice as I have found pursuing justice for society’s underdogs.
