Читать книгу Shatter the Bones - Stuart MacBride - Страница 6

As always, a lot of people very generously helped with the research for this book – anything I’ve got right is their fault, everything I’ve got wrong is mine.

I want to say a big thank you to Professor Dave Barclay at the Robert Gordon University, Dr Lorna Dawson and David Miller at the Macaulay, and Dr James Grieve at the University of Aberdeen whose help has been invaluable. The ever-wonderful Ishbel Gall went above and beyond (as usual).

Hats off to Lee Carr, Xavier Jones-Barlow, Christopher MacBride, Julie Bultitude, Allan ‘Ubby’ Davidson, John Dennis, Dave Goulding, and Alex Clark for all their trailertastic help. Mark McHardy, Chris Croly, and Andrew Morrisson for advice and snippets.

Allan and Donna Buchan for support and curry.

My groovy editors Jane Johnson and Sarah Hodgson, and everyone at HarperCollins, especially Alice Moss, Amy Neilson, Julia Wisdom, Wendy Neale and Damon Greeney; and everyone in the Glasgow DC crew. My agent Philip Graystoke Patterson, Isabella, Luke, and the rest of Marjacq scripts. Andrea Best, Susanne Grünbeck, Gregor Weber, and Andreas Jäger.

Several police officers were incredibly helpful; I can’t name them, but I can thank them.

And saving the best for last – as always – Fiona and Grendel.
