The narrative draws on research and guidance acknowledged by the author, including stock-market mechanics, financial strategies, and the practical workings of military police and diplomatic security. The novel also engages broader themes shaped by major authors and critiques of globalization, presenting all depictions as invented for dramatic storytelling.","Triple Cross  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nALSO BY MARK T.

Thank you, Jokers.  \nRussell Mann of Lincoln Vale graciously helped me “game” the financial strategies at play in the book. Without his aid, I never would have figured it out. Any mistakes of math, faults of logic, or descriptions of big-time market movements and their players are entirely my own.  \nA special thanks goes out to Jim “Spyder” Finnerty for graciously inviting me to ski inside TYC. It was a great deep-powder day and, ultimately, the inspiration for Triple Cross. The Jefferson Club, it must be said, bears no resemblance to TYC, nor do its members. All characterizations in the novel are entirely works of fiction.  \nMy old and dear friend Tom Bowman, Pentagon Correspondent for National Public Radio, helped me game the political effects of the attack, and to understand the sentiment among soldiers returning from Iraq. Thanks, Tom. In addition to looking and speaking like a Kennedy, you are one smart guy.  \nAt the same time, I’d like to acknowledge Columbia University Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz, author of Globalization and Its Discontents, and David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World, for shaping some  \nof the themes at work in the novel. I am deeply indebted to the Southern Poverty Law Center for helping me to more fully grasp the anti-globalist movement. All depictions of Third Position adherents and their personal beliefs, however, are purely fiction.  \nI am thankful for the time and insight given to me by Roger Nisley, former head of the FBI’s National Hostage Rescue Team and its Critical Incident Response Group. Ron Minard helped me understand the workings of military police and the Diplomatic Security Service. Thanks Ron.  \nA Herculian dose of gratitude goes to my agent, David Hale Smith, who took a chance, and to my foreign agents, Linda Michaels and, subsequently, Danny Baror, for keeping me afloat and writing.  \nThanks to fellow novelist and friend Gregg Hurwitz for being the first reader. I owe you, bud.  \nIf they’re lucky, writers get to work with one great editor in their careers. Keith Kahla at St. Martin’s Press is my one great editor. He, too, took a chance, and coaxed and cajoled and prodded the final form of this novel out of me. Along the way he was smart, funny, invested, and discerning. Keith, I can’t thank you enough.  \nI am also deeply grateful to Sally Richardson, publisher of St. Martin’s, for having the guts to look beyond the numbers.
