  Acknowledgments

  During school visits, younger students often ask how I made the book, as in the actual physical copy. I tell them somebody else does that, and that writing is only one part of the work that goes into making a book. With that in mind, I’d like to thank:

  Kelly Sonnack for representing me in this project and telling me about it in the first place.

  Donna Bray for coming up with the great idea for this book and ushering it through all the stages of revising and editing.

  Viana Siniscalchi for procuring photos and helping every step of the way.

  HarperCollins copy editors, proofreaders, designers, marketers, salespeople, and more for turning the manuscript into a book and getting that book into the hands of readers.

  Chris Harvey for walking me through the process of investigating cold cases using DNA evidence.

  Kay Sirianni for shedding light on the forensic science described in several areas of the book.

  My parents for instilling in me a love of stories.

  My husband, Justin, for supporting me through all the crazy ups and downs of being a writer!
