The Killing Hour

I’d like to thank Harriet Allan and the staff at Random House who are amazing people. Harriet has given me support, advice, and one hell of an opportunity.

And lastly I’d like to thank Anna Maria Covich who, when I was nineteen, asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I told her I wanted to be a writer. She told me to go for it. She’s put in a lot of work along the way and has been invaluable in getting me here.
