The Diabolist (Dominic Grey 3) (54 page)

His eyes sought the window again, the dark. It was with us all, and he thought no one really needed to question the definition of evil. Because even if you didn’t know why or understand how, you recognized it, and you knew.

You just knew.

As they say, it takes a village, and I can’t thank everyone enough who had a hand in this book. Special thanks to C-Money, J-Wall, Rusty, my wife, McLemore, and Mom for above and beyond support, assistance, and encouragement. Congrats again to Richard Marek for sending me into a tailspin of despair with his incisive comments—I wouldn’t have it any other way. Andrea Hurst provided amazing editorial support. Mike Burke, M.D., made sure the book passed muster with the principles of medical science. A special nod to Scott Nicholson for his selfless support of a young author. Heartfelt thanks to Alan Turkus and the rest of the team at Thomas & Mercer for their mad publishing skills, enthusiasm, and for taking me on. And to Steve Axelrod, my scarily savvy agent: thanks for guiding me through.

Finally, a very grateful shout out to all the book bloggers and reviewers who helped get this series off the ground with their grassroots support. Thanks for what you do for books.
