Author’s Note During the research for this novel I found a number of websites and papers to be a very valuable resource. Although I have made some references to these sources within this book, Burnt Paper Sky is entirely a work of fiction and all quotes and references are used fictitiously. Along with the characters and events in this novel, the blog posts, online comments and identities, newspaper articles, email addresses and many of the websites are entirely fictitious and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual websites, email addresses, online comments and identities, newspaper articles and blog posts is entirely coincidental. Any mistakes in police procedure are mine, with apologies to the two retired detectives who kindly advised me. Bristol is as real as I could make it, although there is no playing field beside the Leigh Woods car park, and the descriptions of the interior of Kenneth Steele House are a product of my imagination.
Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother’s love is not. James Joyce In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day. F. Scott Fitzgerald
