Taco Noir (20 page)
There is also my mother and my late father, to whom this book is dedicated. They raised me on comic books, mysteries, and late-night horror films, and I learned these lessons well. A tip of the hat as well goes to my older siblings, Diana, Carol and Bea. They let me live.
I’m also indebted to one of my oldest and best friends, Alex Guilbert, for riding shotgun and feeding all interests noir, pulp, and comic.
And finally, a nod to Chris Anisko, another of my best and oldest friends, for being there whenever a plausible alibi was needed.
And for being the only guy I know with a gun.
