Customer Reviews

Great Overall Look at the Investigation Field

Great Examples of different things Private Eyes do. Especially when the chapters are interviews of other P/I's being interviewed concerning their Specialty and their outlook on the business.Only thing I didn't like about the book was sometimes they explained the same thing over again, they just talked about. Just in a little different way. Seemed Repetitious. Would highly Recommend if you would like an overview of the Field.

very interesting reading

PRIVATE EYES is a book designed to present to the general public the full range of what private investigation is all about. It features interviews with top private detectives who are especially skilled in a particular field ... and it reveals the techniques used in investigating their cases.The areas covered by the authors include chapters on surveillance work, going undercover, using public records, doing interviews, using high-tech listening devices, working with the police and federal and state agencies. As the book points out, much of private investigative work is based on a patient, plodding, nuts-and-bolts approach. Domestic and romantic disputes, industrial espionage, labor unrest and white collar crime are only a few of the matters addressed to private investigators. No other book has presented this much detailed information in one volume.
