It is a very good and exciting introduction to the study of private investigating. He covers a broad range of subjects in the field, and helps you with further studies. Thanks Steve My friends think it is good also because I have not recieved it back yet.

This is a very good book for someone who knows nothing or very little about investigations. Some advice is common sense but other are very good techniques almost anyone can use. The writer is an ex FBI agent who knows what he is talking about. The book also has very good advice on getting free (or at a very low price) information. It's a very good reading even if you are not going to work as a P.I.
A "must have" book for novice Private Investigators July 12, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have finished reading this book, and here are my findings:
The book is very easy to read. In some portions, it is almost a page turner, and you could forget you're reading an instruction text. The information is presented clear and accurate, with enough personal stories to put the use of the techniques into context without becoming too "wordy" or redundant. The book does not extensively cover legal terminology or evidence collection and photography procedures (for that, I'd recommend "The Process of Investigation" by Sennewald and Tsukayama), but it does a great job of covering the basic techniques of Surveillance, Interviewing, Interrogation, Internet Database and Public Records Searchies and other Electronic Surveillance measuresOverall I would say that this book is a must read for anyone who is considering entering the field of Private Investigation.
