The Bourbon Street Ripper (Sins of the Father, Book 1) (65 page)

You might just figure it out all before you get to the end. Wouldn’t that be something?

There are too many people to thank to fit on one page, or fit in one afterword. But most of my thanks goes to my wife for supporting me, my family for believing in me, my critique group for shaping me, my publisher for publishing me, and my editor for putting up with me. To anyone whom I may have forgotten—thank you, as well, for sticking it out with me during this amazing journey.

See you in Book Two!

—Leo King
