Читать книгу MacAvity's Burning - Dan H. McLachlan - Страница 3

I am deeply indebted to my wife, Edie, for her painstaking and detailed editing and proofing. Her advice was sound and invaluable, and her patience unlimited. I am also thankful for the help given me by Colonel Bud Hall (ret.) whose knowledge of planes and weapons is boundless, and who gave me technical advice and proofing that kept me on the straight and narrow. Both Edie and Bud have saved my life in the past two years as well. What’s not to like about that? Dee and Randy Hall I thank for giving me permission to build a story on the incident of their Corner Bar and Restaurant being firebombed several years ago (pictures on the covers). The perpetrators have yet to be apprehended. And I would like to thank the people of our town and surrounding farms and ranches for being the sorts of kind and generous of heart people described in my books. I would also like to thank my dog, Ollie--but of course, she doesn’t know how to read...yet.

“Colonel Puff Puff came to town.

Burned down The Corner to the ground.

When he saw what he had done,

he laughed and said,

‘I wish they were dead!’”
