Disclaimer
The plot hooks provided in this book are fictionalized versions of historical events, inspired by real-world occurrences. While some events mentioned have historical roots, they have been adapted, altered, and embellished for creative and entertainment purposes. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or deceased, places, buildings, and products mentioned in the plot hooks is coincidental. There is no intent to identify with real-world entities or accurately depict them.

Decade Representation
This book utilizes the 0-9 decade format (e.g. 1950-1959) for chronological references rather than the 1-10 format (1951-1960). This decision was made to simplify and standardize the representation of decades in a concise manner. While the 1-10 format may be more common in certain contexts, adopting the 0-9 format allows for clearer and unambiguous identification of each decade, minimizing potential confusion.
