Description

True Cases of a Private Investigator draws from the case files of a leading detective agency and shares some of the more unusual situations faced by the investigating team. Find out how the team cracks their cases as they track down errant spouses in extra-marital affairs and missing children to organising complex stakeouts involving corporate espionage. See how they manipulate the tools of the trade such as disguises to shadow suspects and gather evidence for their clients. You will be amazed how simple ingenuity can be used to great advantage in the hands of a skilled professional. There is no typical workday as each new case brings different challenges and situations that call for quick wits and a great deal of integrity and intelligence. An entertaining and engaging read as readers follow the team on their investigations. Readers may even be able to pick up tips and tricks on how to identify an adulterous spouse and improve their powers of observation and understanding of human behaviour.
