Peter Carver kindly gave me the tablecloth trick. As well, I'm indebted to Pat Devereaux and Mike Glover, who pointed me toward Jackfish. My old buddy Frank Rolfe made sure I got the details of his cottage right by inviting me up to visit; I'm grateful.

I'd also like to thank the folks at Orca for their support of this project, especially editor extraordinaire Sarah Harvey, who kept a firm hand on the steering wheel whenever Spencer's story started to careen out of control.

Finally, my gratitude to Margaret and to Will for great advice and for being there.
