Amazing Book of Surveillance Tips and Information Behind the Private Eye : Surveillance Tales & Technigues is the best Private Investigations book I have read to date. It covers absolutely everything you need to know and more! Chris Cooper has gone to extreme lengths to include internet addresses to any referral in his book as well as contact details of training facilities and licensing information. He backs up everything he writes with real life cases he has performed, and I can say, some of his surveillance jobs are extremely funny. I am a Private Investigator and I found this book to be very informative and I wish I could have been on some surveillance jobs with Chris, not only to learn from him, but to also have a laugh. Do yourself a favour and buy this book. You will not regret it. I promise you that.
