Book excerpt: Phones, light typing...and murder. Think breaking into show business is hard? Try landing a temp job without office skills. That's the challenge facing aspiring actress Isobel Spice when she arrives in New York City, fresh out of college and deficient in PowerPoint. After being rejected by seven temp agencies for her lack of experience, Isobel sweet-talks recruiter James Cooke into letting her cover a last-minute vacancy at a bank. New to his own job, and recently sober, James takes a chance on Isobel, despite his suspicion that she's a trouble-magnet. His misgivings are borne out by lunchtime, when she stumbles across a dead secretary in a bathroom stall. With her fingerprints on the murder weapon, Isobel sets out to prove her innocence by investigating the crime herself. While learning to juggle phone lines and auditions, she discovers an untapped talent for detective work-a qualification few other office temps, let alone actresses, can claim.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Los Angeles teems with tales of the unsung; the unwanted; the ignored ... the temporary. Los Angeles, a city like any other in this great country, has systematically traded many of its full time workers with a tenuous mass of bewildered temps working hard at jobs they know little about and care even less. Sam Callow is one such victim. And these are his stories. Temporary Detective is a collection of modern noir stories revolving around Sam Callow and his temp assignment at The Nick Drake Detective Agency. Sam utilizes his vast network of temp friends to solve a vast array of mysteries he encounters when he unexpectedly takes his temp assignment to heart. And like in any reasonable noir scenario, Sam will inadvertently become entangled in complex webs of murder, intrigue, sultry dames, politicians as crooked as a broken finger, and even well-chilled ghosts from days gone past.

Book Synopsis Criminal Investigation by : Peter Stelfox
Download or read book Criminal Investigation written by Peter Stelfox and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal investigation has a high profile in the media, and has attracted widespread interest. Within the police it has been a rapidly developing field. Important scientific and technological developments have had a considerable impact on practice, and significant steps have been taken in the direction of professionalizing the whole process of investigation. Within police studies criminal investigation has now emerged as an important sub-discipline. Criminal Investigation provides an authoritative and highly readable introduction to the subject from somebody ideally placed to write about it, focusing on how police practitioners carry out investigations. It looks systematically at the purpose and role of criminal investigation; the legal, policy and organizational context in which criminal investigation takes place; the evidence and information that criminal investigators seek; the process and methods of criminal investigation; the knowledge, techniques and decision making abilities that practitioners require to carry out criminal investigations; how and why it is that some crimes are solved and some are not; the supervision of criminal investigation; and a review of some of the key contemporary issues that have a bearing on criminal investigation. Criminal Investigation will be essential reading for both policing practitioners (student police officers as well as officers taking higher levels of CPD within the police service) and students taking courses in criminal investigation, forensic sciences and investigation, police studies and police science, and other courses where a knowledge of criminal investigation is required.

Book Synopsis The Reader and the Detective Story by : George N. Dove
Download or read book The Reader and the Detective Story written by George N. Dove and published by Popular Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As every detective novel addict knows, there's no greater high than figuring out "whodunit" before the final revelation, resulting in the kind of intellectual satisfaction a shot of bourbon can never offer. Dove takes this reader/writer play to a new level by critically assessing the genre through the principles of Reader Response Theory, outlining the detective story as a special case of reading governed by rules and a specialized formula that traces its genealogy back to Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Paper edition (unseen), $18.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: International in scope and varied in its theoretical approaches, this collection of ten new critical essays examines the prevailing trends in recent crime fiction.

Book Synopsis Detective Work by : William B. Sanders
Download or read book Detective Work written by William B. Sanders and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Day-by-day detective work is studied, using case histories, to detail actual problems involved in finding and interpreting information; emphasis is given to juvenile, burglary, and major crime bureaus. The main focus of this book is the relationship between information and decisions, as encountered in actual investigations. The relationship between 'data' and 'information, ' or when does a fact become a clue, is explored through a number of case histories. The role of the patrol report in initiating investigations, the role of the detective bureau in initiating its own investigations, and the relationship between the detective bureau and the rest of the department are detailed. Case histories also explore the special techniques used by successful investigators to identify, locate, and arrest suspects and to get them to admit guilt. Special problems arise when dealing with victims of major crimes. Much has been written about the need for understanding when dealing with rape victims; the same understanding is also needed for victims of robberies, assaults, and other serious offenses. The special problems of the juvenile bureau and the routine of the burglary bureau are also examined. The role of intuition and subjective investigation as well as the 'fact' in successful crime-solving is explored. Appendixes give forms used in the study, a bibliography, and an index.

Download or read book Chieftain written by Chris Payne and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Clarke joined the Metropolitan Police in 1841. Though a "slow starter," his career took off when he was transferred to the small team of detectives at Scotland Yard in 1862, where he became known as "The Chieftain." This book paints the most detailed picture yet published of detective work in mid-Victorian Britain, covering "murders most foul," "slums and Society," the emergence of terrorism related to Ireland, and Victorian frauds. One particular fraudster, Harry Benson, was to contribute to the end of Clarke's career and lead to the first major Metropolitan Police corruption trial in 1877. This fascinating book uses widespread sources of information, including many of Clarke's own case reports.

Book Synopsis The Ascent of the Detective by : Haia Shpayer-Makov
Download or read book The Ascent of the Detective written by Haia Shpayer-Makov and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of the detective has long excited the imagination of the wider public, and the English police detective has been a special focus of attention in both print and visual media. Yet, while much has been written in the last three decades about the history of uniformed policemen in England, no similar work has focused on police detectives. The Ascent of the Detective redresses this by exploring the diverse and often arcane world of English police detectives during the formative period of their profession, from 1842 until the First World War, with special emphasis on the famed detective branch established at Scotland Yard. The book starts by illuminating the detectives' socioeconomic background, how and why they became detectives, their working conditions, the differences between them and uniformed policemen, and their relations with the wider community. It then goes on to trace the factors that shaped their changing public image, from the embodiment of 'un-English' values to plebeian knights in armour, investigating the complex and symbiotic exchange between detectives and journalists, and analysing their image as it unfolded in the press, in literature, and in their own memoirs.
