Acknowledgements

The idea for this book came on a rainy Monday afternoon in a seminar, with a question from a student. Thank you for asking it.

It was further developed with the help and support of my tutors on the MA Creative Writing course at the University of Portsmouth: Sam North, Dr Alison Habens and Dr Stephen O’Brien. Thanks also to my fellow students who made it such a joyful and life-enhancing experience, especially my dear friends Carolyn Hughes and Claire Holland. Without your fearless critique and constant support I’d be lost.

You also gave me the confidence to take the next step – entering the
Good Housekeeping
Novel Competition. Thank you so much to the judges: Kate Mosse, Luigi Bonomi (now my agent), Kate Mills from Orion Books,
GH
editor Lindsay Nicholson and features director Andreina Cordani, for choosing my story and giving me this wonderful opportunity.

Thanks to Nicole Rafter and Mary Gibson for allowing me to quote from their excellent translation of Lombroso’s work.

My colleagues at the Institute of Criminal Justice Studies in the University of Portsmouth have been a tremendous source of expertise. In particular, my thanks go to Dr Paul Smith for making sure that my forensic knowledge was up to scratch, Dr Phil Clements for his support, Ann Treagus and Brenda Newman for their input on that all-important synopsis, and Mandy Curnow for making sure my competition entry got into the post tray on time!

One of the most important things that I have learned is that a writer is nothing without a good editor and I have been truly blessed in this. Jemima Forrester has been everything that a new author could wish for and more. Thank you so much for all your patience and brilliant insight.

Finally, heartfelt thanks to my wonderful husband David, without whose advice and encouragement I would never have started, let alone finished, this book.
