01 A Cold Dark Place (34 page)
Even though writing is a solitary endeavor I had a lot of help with this manuscript. Biggest thanks, as always, go to my amazing critique partner, Kathy Altman. Thanks also, for encouragement and beta-reads, to Laurie Wood, and my lovely hubby, Gary. Much appreciation to JRT Editing and Ally Robertson for helping me make this story shine. I also want to thank my agent, Jill Marsal for all her help and support.
Thank you for reading the first book in my new COLD JUSTICE series! I hope you enjoyed it.
