AcknowledgementsI would like to thank the following people for all their contributions and advice;
Mike Smith of Advanced Armament Corp, USA for his expertise on all weapons suppressed and for his fascinating insight into the SDK 'Gestapo' Rifle that Marquez uses.
To my old friend, science fiction writer, Daniel Webster for all his help and encouragement over the years and for helping me find Gorilla's favorite tool of the trade, the S&W '39. Phut – Phut – Phut!
To John Nuttall, for sharing his knowledge of the Cornish Coast and for his advice on all things 'boat' related. Any errors are mine and should in no way be attributed to John's excellent advice.
To my 'Scottish Editor', Claire Piercy, for advising me on the correct way that those north of the border converse. I owe you a dram.
