Acknowledgements

My heartfelt gratitude to authors Donald Rumbelow (
The Triple Tree: Newgate, Tyburn and the Old Bailey
) and Stewart Evans (
Executioner: The Chronicles of James Berry, Victorian Hangman
) for their incredible body of work. Keats’ Newgate saga took on a life of its own because of their meticulous research. Also, a tip of the hat to Neil Hanson for his riveting book,
The Dreadful Judgement,
which provided excellent fodder for the 1888 conflagration scenes.

And my thanks to:

Adrienne deNoyelles, my incredible editor, and Gwen Gades, my very patient publisher.

Robert Anderson, whose generous donation to the UK 2007 Jack the Ripper Conference netted him the pivotal role of…Robert Anderson. I had merry fun with this gent!

Nanette Littlestone, who finds the mistakes in my manuscript even though we’re always right on deadline.

Ally Ryder, who has a fantastic ability to see the holes in any plot. Tony Saladino, who continues to teach me the wonders of Chen Style
Tai Chi Chuan
. Bob Hinton, who gave me good advice on period firearms.

And finally, my gratitude to the intrepid members of my critique group who frequently remind me to add more “visuals”: Dwain Herndon, Nanette Littlestone and Aarti Nayar.

If you find any mistakes, they’re mine.
