Ron Base - Sanibel Sunset Detective 01 - The Sanibel Sunset Detective (29 page)

Friend and neighbor Kim Hunter introduced me to Naples, Florida, and unknowingly provided one of the novel’s locations.

I would also like to thank the very talented Bridgit Stone-Budd who went to extraordinary lengths to create the book’s cover. And of course West-End Books publisher Brian Vallée. Overwhelmed with his own work, he nonetheless selflessly took time to come to the aid of a friend.

Mickey Spillane died in 2006 at the age of 88. Today, he is all but forgotten, part of a fading era, as are Prather and Halliday, not to mention Erle Stanley Gardiner, and even John D. MacDonald, those great paperback writers who helped me navigate adolescence. They live on in sweet memory, though, by flashlight, under covers, late at night.
