ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The following people either read this book in its various stages and helped me pound it into shape or they supplied information I needed: Sergeant Dave Allen (retired from the Pasco Police Department), Collin Briggs, Linda Campbell, Dave Carson, Katharine Carson, Michelle Kasper, Christine Masters, Ann Peters, Kaye Roberson, and Anne Sowards. I am grateful for their efforts, and anyone who reads this book should be as well.
Additionally, Zee is very appreciative of his friends Michael and Susann Bock, who keep his German correct and who understand exactly how he feels about customers.
Finally, I very much wish to thank Gertrude, my Subaru, for making me a better driver, whether I wanted to be or not.
