My thanks go to the Guernsey Police, for invaluable help with the structure of the force and the unique administration of laws on the island. Thank you also to Elaine Berry, a former colleague of my mother’s at the Ladies’ College, who gave me books about the island occupation from her personal collection, and shared an afternoon of memories, tea, and roses, and to painter Brian Pinero Terris for his stories of buccaneers and privateers past and present. My heartfelt gratitude goes to my friend from Ladies’ College school days, Ros Hammarskjold, and her husband, Frank, for their warm hospitality. Grateful thanks, as always, to my agents, Frances and Bill Hanna, and to my husband, Ian, for his constant support and encouragement.
