Being a detective is not a profession you choose lightly.It is a way of seeing the world, of interpreting reality, and above all, of confronting yourself.The Detective and Me is not a manual of techniques nor a catalogue of procedures. It is the starting point of a deeper journey: the inner formation of the detective. Before surveillance, before interviews, before field operations, there is one unavoidable subject of investigation - the detective himself.This book explores the internal structure of the professional investigator: how thought is formed, how judgment is shaped, how discipline is built, and why personal clarity is essential for operational success. A detective who does not understand himself becomes the weakest link in any investigation.Written from decades of real investigative experience, this first volume establishes the philosophical and practical foundations of the Private Secret Detective (PSD). It examines vocation, mental discipline, personal ethics, perception, and the silent decisions that separate professionals from improvisers.This book is for: Those who aspire to become detectivesInvestigators seeking depth beyond techniqueProfessionals who understand that truth is not only found in evidence, but in judgmentThe Detective and Me is the door through which every true detective must pass.This is where the investigation begins.
