Book
Review - Security professionals in the field of
investigative services need to wear many hats to be
successful. This security book is a fine start toward that
end, as author Charles P. Nemeth presents a general
picture of what a private investigator should learn,
from personal abilities to office management.
Especially worthwhile is the chapter on information
collection, which would interest the novice and
veteran investigator alike. As a primer
those new to the world of investigation, the book
is a success: it is clearly written, easily
understood, and complete. - Security Management,
