The Bug in the Martini Olive: And Other True Cases from the Files of Hal Lipset, Private Eye

This non-fiction book was first published in 1991 and Patricia Holt pays tribute to her former employer and friend, Hal Lipset, in this interesting story. It was a real treat reading about a few of this PI's case files and Lipset's struggle with getting into the investigative business, let alone his opinion about the entire legal system. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the part about Lipset's personal life as well, a marriage with differences in religion, and then dealing with the loss of his wife. Without a doubt, Holt has me convinced that Hal Lipset was one of the greatest private investigators ever. This writer told a wonderful and interesting story. A job well done.
