It’s night in the city and a female shape is silhouetted through the glass of a second floor office door.
“My husband’s cheating on me,” she said as she came through the door.
“Why would he do that?” A guy would have to be crazy to cheat on a dame like this. Her slinky red dress showed she had all the right equipment to keep anybody at home.
It’s the classic opening for a thousand private eye stories, novels and movies. People haven’t changed, but techniques today are different.
PIs, or private investigators, are mostly retired police officers, just like the movies. However many of them are working out of a home office that is run by their wives while they are working.
