Delivered from Evil: True Stories of Ordinary People Who Faced Monstrous Mass Killers and Survived (43 page)

This book would not have been as authoritative without the insights and aid of many professionals who loaned their skills to it. Many thanks to former FBI profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole; Dr. Katherine Ramsland, Dr. Richard Noll, and Dr. Amy Saborsky; Captain Heather Kouts, New Orleans Police Department; Dr. Shawn Cowper, Yale University; Coast Guard Capt. Ernest Murdock (Ret.); Dr. Kathleen Nader; Barbara Boyer; Michael C. Lewis, U.S. Coast Guard National Maritime Center; Caitlin Rother; Nancy Renick; Robert Kelley; Paul Schopp; Jason Laughlin; Chester Cedars; Michelle McKee; and Reverend Carl Petering.

You would not be reading this except for the investment and wisdom of Will Kiester, Jill Alexander, and Cara Connors of Fair Winds Press, and my agent Gina Panettieri.

And most of all, I give thanks to (and for) my wife Mary, the one who always saw me off and always greeted me at the end of every journey. She makes me want to live forever.
