Review

Brandon: I just finished reading your latest book, Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery. The FTER Method is a must read scholarly contribution to the PI industry for both the novice and veteran PI who specializes in the craft of investigative interviewing. It stands alone as a classroom educational reference, and is a great refresher for experienced peers. I will highly recommend the FTER Method... to my students in the Boston University Certificate in Professional Investigation, as well as alumni and fellow veteran colleagues. I commend you for your commitment and dedication to enhancing the education and professionalism of the PI industry. Congratulations my friend, you have produced a fine scholarly work! --Chief Thomas P. Shamshak (Ret.)
