Acknowledgements
I would like to thank David Drake for his invaluable help and many kindnesses and Fred Kiesche for reading through the manuscript fortypos. Finally, I must thank Toni Weisskopf for whipping the novel into shape.
Note
Everything you read in this novel about London from this point on is true, except for the bits I have exaggerated, distorted, or completely fabricated.
