The Place For My Writers Notes

You're right about the qualities a P.I. needs. In a recent novel of mine at http://www.eloquentbooks.com/TheForeverGirl.html, Jim Brandon comes upon a badly beaten man in the sage flats east of Las Vegas' Strip. The vic splits from the hospital before the cops can I.D. him and starts a guerrilla war on the security thugs working for Florian's, the new hotel/casino in town. Everyone thinks Brandon is in on it. He has to re-up as a private detective just to survive.
