While I bear the burden of any mistakes or errors in this novel, there were many who did their best to help me prevent them: Ava Honan, whose computer expertise got Killer Mountain edited; Dorothy Blake persuaded me to publish it; Mike Pelchat allowed a look through the Yankee Building; and Ed Parsons, Rick Wilcox and Alain Comeau, whose knowledge of the White Mountains clarified locations and descriptions. There are many others, too numerous to mention, whose comments and support enabled me to stay on course. For all I am deeply grateful.
