ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As I write this, I think about the essentially impossible task of thanking everyone who’s ever helped me. The writing community is a highly supportive one, and I feel truly grateful to have been helped by many people along the way. My current writers’ group has contributed so much, in terms of suggestions, constructive criticism, and overall support, that I want to thank all the members (past and present), including Janet Benrey, Ray Flynt, Sasscer Hill, Mary Ellen Hughes, Trish Marshall, Sherriell Mattingley, Bonnie Settle, Thomas Sprenkle, Marcia Talley, and Lyn Taylor. All of you have been an invaluable aid to my growth as a writer. I also owe a great debt of gratitude to Pat Altner, Jack Bludis, Carla Buckley, Carolyn Males, Ellen Rawlings, Louise Titchener, and other writers and friends who provided helpful suggestions and encouragement along the way.
With respect to this book, I’d like to thank the public information office of the Ocean City Police Department for answering questions about police procedure, jurisdiction and detention. The vast majority of my research on the poultry and crab industry, immigration issues, and race relations on the Eastern Shore was on the Internet, including online news, legislative, historical and other documentation. Some of the story is based on personal and anecdotal information. The rest, as they say, is just fiction. Any errors or omissions on these subjects are my own. My endless thanks to Peter Ratcliffe for providing the great cover art and Beth Rubin for her awesome editing. Many thanks also to my friends in the Chesapeake Chapter of Sisters in Crime, as well as to Laurie Cullen for doing the copyediting and Kimberly “Hitch” Hitchens for formatting the file for this techno-idiot. Extra special thanks to Eileen Bernstein for reviewing the Spanish text for punctuation and syntax. Any of Sam’s usage or grammatical errors are entirely her fault, of course.
If you’d like to keep up with Sam McRae’s adventures, please check out the next book in the series! Thanks!

PROLOGUE
I once spent the night with six prostitutes.
It’s not what you’re thinking. In fact, I’m probably not who you’re thinking, either. I’m Stephanie Ann McRae, better known to most people as Sam, the nickname I created from my initials. In addition to being a woman, I’m a lawyer in my late 30s and single, but not inclined to use the services of the world’s oldest profession.
