ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The three Rhymer novels—and this one in particular—would not have made deadlines had it not been for the edits, feedback, and meta insights of my writing colleague Oz Drummond as she combed through the text. Thank you once more for the many, many hours of conversations, Zoom discussions, and heaps of notes at so many critical points during their creation.
Anyone who wants to write a novel set in Elizabethan London can do no better than to utilize Liza Picard’s Elizabeth’s London. Picard knows everything about everything. Likewise, Park Honan’s Christopher Marlowe: Poet & Spy covers everything you could want to know about the more shadowy aspects of Marlowe’s short life.
Finally, once more my thanks to my ever-tenacious agent, Marie Lamba, and to my editors on this volume, David Butler and Toni Weisskopf, for further fine-tuning of Thomas’s adventure.
