Too late for me

Fifteen years ago I worked for a period of time as a PI. I was thrown into it with limited training, and I can tell you, just from the "Surprise me" excerpts I read, there is some pretty good stuff in this book. I learned things in just a ten-minute perusal that I guarantee would have been useful to me back then in avoiding/escaping some embarassing/potentially dangerous situations in which I found myself, not to mention more efficiently collecting information. I long ago got out of the PI game (mostly because I was uncomfortable deceiving people for a living, even when it's for a "good" cause), so I probably won't be purchasing this book, but I most certainly would recommend it to someone who wants to learn about or get into the PI business, or maybe just brush up on skills.

It's more than adequate

Did we read the same book. I learned how to tail people, work undercover and pick a lock. How-to's are laid out in chapters. It was well worth what it costs.

Good starting point if you're interested in becoming a PI

This book guides you through all the types of investigations that a typical private investigator does. In addition, the author added personal comments about investigations he conducted. If you're not sure about what it's really like, this is the book for you.
