Special dedication, thanks and love to my husband, Ged, for his constant encouragement and support, for believing I could finish writing this story when I doubted it myself and for tirelessly occupying our youngest so I could write. Much love to my older children Liam, Hayley & Ross for their moral support and independence and to Esther for patiently sharing mummy with the keyboard.
Many people have helped me to write The Half Truth but particular thanks to Julie Cohen and the day spent at her writing workshop. More gratitude to the HarperImpulse team for their invaluable input and support. To The Romaniacs for being the best cheerleaders. To my sister, Jacqueline, for telling me to write the Tina story and to Laura E. James who urged me to complete the Russian one, the end result of both being The Half Truth.
Finally, a big thank you to all my readers whose support makes writing so rewarding.
