Title: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Private Investigating
Author: Steven Kerry Brown
Data: Alpha, 384 pps. [$$$] soft-cover
Review by Michael Pakenham
Brown, an experienced professional PI with offices in Ponte Vedra Beach and St. Augustine, urges that this book really could guide the reader into a career. But its greatest charm - and I suspect its main utility - is as a truly entertaining, briskly presented, rundown on how the business is conducted. Or at least how it is done by Brown. One of the 24 topical chapters: "Moving Surveillance: How best to perform one-man and two-man moving surveillances, anticipating your subject's next move, communication between units, and dealing with stoplights."
The others involve public-records checking, access to ostensibly confidential information, electronic devices and their use, tracing missing or elusive persons. Any armchair gumshoe will find the details entertaining - sometimes debatable, often provocative.

Summary: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Private Investigating
Comment: I'm a retired police officer from a major, metropolitan department who is now starting up a private investigations business. I've read other, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to..." books and have enjoyed their format, style and content. This volume is no exception.
The author, Steven Kerry Brown, does an excellent job of covering the basics and many advanced techniques for conducting private investigations. He also provides guidelines for starting and building a profitable business.
The book is informative, entertaining and comprehensive. I recommend it for any law enforcement personnel who are considering P.I. work. It will help focus your established investigative skills toward the private market with an eye on profitability. Plus, it's fun to read.
The book will also serve as an introduction and resource for anyone interested in working for a licensed P.I. It will give you a fundamental understanding of the principles and practices of the job and help you express yourself more precisely during employment interviews.
There are a variety of solid books on investigative topics available to help you hone your skills, but so far this is my choice for "Private Investigating 101."

Summary: A Must Buy For Both The Experienced And Novice Investigator.
Comment: As a licensed private investigator, I must commend Mr. Steven Kerry Brown for writing a book that is, in my opinion, the best book currently in print regarding the private investigation profession. This book is of great use to both the experienced and novice investigator. While there are many great titles available for specific areas of the investigtion profession, there are few good titles that cover the general aspects of private investigation - this one is the best. For the price, you should not think twice about adding this title to your investigative library.
