If you have ever wondered what it would be like to try your hand at private investigation, or if you are interested in some of the things an actual PI might come across in his or her travels, there’s a book out for you. In addition to finding long lost loved ones or spying on cheating spouses, licensed private investigators work in and around the legal system every day and come in contact with people of all types and sizes. Each of these people has a story. Of course, there’s more to being a PI than you see on TV, but it does have its rewarding and entertaining side. The book entitled Milo Powell, PI by author T.W. Person relates some of the situations and predicaments an investigator can get into.
Milo Powell, PI is a hard-to-put-down book filled with the author’s actual case experiences. His alias is sometimes used by the author when it is deemed best not to be accurately identified. That in itself can be a huge benefit in some cases. The short stories in this book take you into the world of civil lawsuits, infidelity, surveillance and criminals caught up in drugs and murder. You will experience interesting, strange and sometimes ironic tales with a little bit of PI how-to mixed in. Good private investigators are as unique as any other cadre of individuals, but they do all share some common traits. They are naturally curious, don’t like to give up and as you’ll see in these pages, are creative. One must-have trait of a successful investigator is persistence. Author T.W. Person has minimized the monotonous parts and leaves you with entertaining accounts using anonymous real people and true case history. If you’re a PI yourself, you may pick up some useful tips or even spark some memories. Whatever the case, this book will provide you with a sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious look inside the cases of a PI in Midwest America.
Private investigators and investigation are a staple in our world today and many of the stigmas and preconceptions once connected with them are fading. Experience the real story with Milo Powell, PI. For more information, log on to www.milopowellpi.com
