If you are curious about how private investigators really operate, this amusing book offers facts sprinkled with a liberal dose of anecdotes. My favorite is when Colleen takes a pole dancing class in order to do surveillance on an unfaithful wife. There is plenty of information on a more serious note, too. Colleen points out that discovering that a client’s spouse is indeed cheating on him or her results in heartbreak for the client. There are links to dozens of resources for writers, or those just curious about the world of the PI. Colleen talks about gadgets – what they actually used in their work, and what ended up in the junk drawer. Changing technology has had a huge impact on the job of a PI. There is even a section on steps to take to protect your privacy. Learn from a legal standpoint what television and movies get wrong about the life of a PI. You can read this book straight through, or skip around to the sections that most interest you.… (altro)
