I have been involved in the investigative field for 12 years. I have worked in uniformed management, white collar crime, undercover, insurance defense, etc. I found the book to be written more for a personal reference of the author. Section one was quite helpful (Working Your Case), but the remainder was almost exclusively for California agents.

The author showed a good knowledge of the history of bail agents, and did provide some good cases for reference.

Overall the book was OK as a reference point for Bail Enforcement Agents, but I personally believe that the claim of "The Bible" for the profession is a bit much.

I bought this book when I first thought about the field of fugitive recovery. After reading the material, I then went on to Mr. Harper's training classes. The classes went far beyond the book, but like any training, it was helpful reading the manual before the classes. The book also really laid out the laws and procedures for a novice in this field to understand. It isn't a glory book of war stories like I've seen in other books of this nature. A good beginning manual if your interested in this field.
