If you would like to put a little excitement in your life, come along for the ride! The detective stories in this book will give you a thrill and a smile. When I started my journey through life, through the eyes of a private detective, I started seeing the world in a different way. My detective stories shared in this book show the good, the bad, and the ugly of the American society. You, as the reader, can judge how the good got good and how the bad got bad. There is a saying that you can't judge a book by its cover; as a private detective, you can't judge people by their appearance, but it does seem that sometimes you can find the good in most people, even in the fast lane...
