520    "A fascinating examination of the world of private 
       investigators by a 21st-century private eye. Today's world
       is complicated: companies are becoming more powerful than 
       nations, the lines between public and corporate 
       institutions grow murkier, and the internet is shredding 
       our privacy. To combat these onslaughts, people everywhere
       -- rich and not so rich, in business and in their personal
       lives -- are turning away from traditional police, lawyers,
       and government regulators toward a new champion: the 
       private investigator. As a private investigator, Tyler 
       Maroney has traveled the globe, overseeing sensitive 
       investigations and untying complicated cases for a wide 
       array of clients. In his new book, he shows that it's 
       private eyes who today are being called upon to catch 
       corrupt politicians, track down international embezzlers, 
       and mine reams of data to reveal which CEOs are lying. The
       tools Maroney and other private investigators use are a 
       mix of the traditional and the cutting edge, from old 
       phone records to computer forensics to solid (and often 
       inspired) street-level investigative work. The most useful
       assets private investigators have, Maroney has found, are 
       their resourcefulness and their creativity. Each of the 
       investigations Maroney explores in this book highlights an
       individual case and the people involved in it, and in each
       account he explains how the transgressors were caught and 
       what lessons can be learned from it. Whether the clients 
       are a Middle Eastern billionaire whose employees stole 
       millions from him, the director of a private equity firm 
       wanting a background check on a potential hire (a known 
       convicted felon), or creditors of a wealthy American 
       investor trying to recoup their money after he fled the 
       country to avoid bankruptcy, all of them hired private 
       investigators to solve problems the authorities either 
       can't or won't touch. In an era when it's both easier and 
       more difficult than ever to disappear after a crime is 
       committed, it's the modern detective people are turning to
       for help, for revenge, and for justice"--|cProvided by
