PORTLAND, Maine (MMD Newswire) July 28, 2011 – – Movies and television shows often portray the lives of private investigators as suspenseful, dramatic and always adventurous – and they might be right. David B. Smaha lets readers in on how true this image is in his memoir, “Through My Private Eyes” (ISBN 1450576125).
Smaha, who says he’s always held a passion for righting a wrong and seeking out the truth, provides an insider’s account of this often misunderstood profession. After becoming aware of a police detective losing evidence in a case in which the detective’s best friend was a suspect, Smaha was inspired to become a private investigator. Everything detailed in “Through My Private Eyes” is real, except for the names of people and places.
As a private investigator for 28 years, Smaha has dealt with everything from reuniting long-lost loves to infiltrating police misconduct cases. He goes undercover in massage parlors to reveal prostitution fronts and shares his stories of being slammed with fictitious criminal charges after exposing law enforcement personnel in improprieties. He tells of deals to hide mishaps committed by public officials.
In our highly digitalized society, online dating has become such a staple of the dating scene, which has consequently generated business for Smaha. He addresses the horrific experiences of meeting con artists online, and offers advice to those on the dating scene so that they can notice red flags. While he covers serious topics such as this, Smaha also includes his lighthearted experiences in the field that range from being attacked by a giant Cockatoo to being hit on while working undercover.
“I frequently catch myself saying ‘I can’t believe I get paid to do this,'” Smaha says. “I love my job and I hope that others will enjoy the serious and humorous anecdotes I share in this book.”
Smaha shares his experiences in “Through My Private Eyes” so that readers feel as if they were a fly on the wall. He would like his style to make the reader feel as if they are working side by side with a real PI on real cases. “Through My Private Eyes” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
