Покойный Расс Дорр работал со мной над “телефоном Мистера Харригана".” Это было наше последнее сотрудничество, и как же мне его не хватает. Спасибо Чаку Верриллу, моему агенту (который особенно любил “Крысу”), и всей моей команде Скрибнера, включая (но не ограничиваясь) Нэн Грэм, Сьюзен Молдоу, роз Липпел, Кэти Риццо, Джая Мицели, Кэтрин Монаган и Кэролин Риди. Спасибо Крису Лоттсу, моему агенту по иностранным правам, и Рэнду Холстону из Агентства "Парадигма" в Лос-Анджелесе. Он снимается в кино и на телевидении. Большое спасибо также—и большая любовь-моим детям, моим внукам и моей жене Табите. Я люблю тебя, дорогая.

И последнее, но не менее важное: спасибо тебе, постоянный читатель, за то, что ты снова идешь со мной.
