Acknowledgements

For help above and beyond the call. On the technical side: Dr. Mary Case and Mary Fran Ernst of the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office, who taught me how to be a good investigator. Lt. John Podolak and his always lovely wife Michelle, who never let me get away with faulty procedure. Dr. John Ponzillo, RPh, Pharm D., with special mention for coming up with the names for my drug. Always, of course, to the nurses out there who still share their stories (with special mention to Susan from McGurk's for crack cocaine) and fight the good fight.

Any errors in the work are mine. As to the caves beneath St. Louis: there are caves, just not where I put them.

On a professional side: A special thank-you to all the booksellers and distributors who have been out there hand-selling me when nobody knew who the heck I was, or just what it was I was doing. I couldn't have better friends in the industry. Unfortunately, I'm too big a coward to give individual names, for fear that I'm going to forget somebody. But you know who you are.

On the personal side: it's redundant, but thank you Karyn for seeing the way when I couldn't. Thank you Carolyn and Karen for the unflagging support and enthusiasm, even when we switch ball games in the sixth inning. And always, to Rick, for not only letting me fly, but dogfight. What more could a girl ask for?

He is not an honest man who has burned his tongue on the soup and does not tell the company that the soup is hot.
