Be Your Own Dick: Private Investigating Made Easy

by John Q. Newman

Is there someone special you want to get to know better, but you're afraid to ask? Let John Q. Newman help. Maybe you's like to check out your fiance before getting marries? Maybe you've gota neighbor who acts suspicious and you want to know why? Maybe you need to verify job applications before you hire someone? Just talking to a detective is going to cost you more than this book. But you don't have to spend big bucks to dig out the dirt on someone. Most detective work involves simple research you can do for yourself - if you know where to look. Be Your Own Dick will teach you the simple tricks of the private detective's trade. You will learn how to find out everything about your target's finances, health, employment, pastimes and "past lives." You will learn where to find the easy information and how to uncover the tough stuff. You'll even learn to do debtor searches and background investigations, in case you want to try your hand as a paid private investigator. If you want to know whether someone is rich or a deadbeat, whether they're on the level or a fraud, whether they're cheating on you, stealing from you, or lying to you, then Be Your Own Dick! You'll be surprised at how much you can find out for yourself.

Forget playing Hawkshaw the Detective. This is a valuable resource for cub reporters and concerned citizens, as well. Oh, and the title... Hell, it's worth the price of the book. :-)
