She would fly out of LaGuardia in the morning. First thing, before the shops opened or the Post hit her door.
She’d leave early, early when the street was hers alone and fifty cabs would race straight toward her arm held up in the dark of morning. She’d book the flight from the back of the cab.
LGA to ATL.
One-way, for now.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First, my deepest thanks to my friend and editor, Gretchen Young, who has had great faith in me and The Eleventh Victim. You have made so many wonderful things possible for me. Thank you.
To Wendy Corsi Staub, you are a wonder! Thank you!!
To Jim Walton and Ken Jautz, thank you for the support, the opportunities, the trials we’ve covered, and of course, the friendship. I owe you both so much, it can’t fit onto a page.
To our wonderful staff on Nancy Grace, and especially Liz, thank you. You are the backbone.
Without Dean Sicoli, “the muse,” there would be no HLN Nancy Grace. First e-mail in the morning, last e-mail at night…my friend and my EP, thank you.
And last and dearest, thank you, David. What would it be without you? Nothing. You and the twins are the joys of my life. And to my Father God and Christ, thank you for these and all your many blessings.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
When her fiancé was murdered just before their wedding day, Nancy Grace abandoned plans to become a Shakespearean literature professor to enter the world of crime and justice; she attended Mercer Law School, graduating Law Review. She then obtained her LLM in Criminal and Constitutional Law at NYU. Grace spent a decade in inner-city Atlanta prosecuting violent crimes, compiling a perfect record of more than 100 felony prosecution victories at trial with no losses. Grace joined Court TV and, for eleven years, covered major trials after cohosting Cochran & Grace with famed defense attorney Johnnie Cochran. One of television’s most respected legal analysts, Grace starred in the top-rated HLN show Nancy Grace and serves as a legal expert for ABC’s Nightline, 20/20, and Good Morning America. Grace lives in both New York City and Atlanta with her husband and beloved twins, a boy and a girl (and a dog and a cat, both pound pets).
