A Man Who Loves Challenges

     “You’ve got to admit, Jake Ross has the perfect name for a private eye: two one-syllable words with a tough-sounding first name.

       But this is one private investigator who refuses to rely on a name or a gimmick to obtain cases; he would rather use his experience and skills to prove himself on every case."

     “To Ross, thank you for protecting me during my week stay, Happiness!”

     Jake Ross is a Private Investigator – a real Private Investigator.  I’ve been observing – and, admittedly, profiting – this private investigation explosion for a long time.  He has distinguished himself with over 35 years of investigative experience in both public and private sector.  He is a Board Certified Criminal Defense Investigator and has worked more than 5,000 cases.  Several of 
his most fascinating cases are described in this book.  My agency is retained to handle a constantly multiplying variety of cases, performing more complex services.  My investigations run the gamut of criminal and civil cases from criminal defense to robbery, murder, and VIP protection.  He’s independent, on his own.  No political suffering from election anxieties peers over his shoulder.  The private investigator can improvise, freewheel, and throw away the book.  He can tread freely on toes without fear of banishment or loss of rank.  Besides – this is probably most important of all – the private investigator knows that if he solves a case, his client will be lavish with gratitude, praise and money.    
     Prior to opening his private investigative firm, Mr. Ross served in the U.S. Army, during the Vietnam Era, received an honorable discharge, returned home to become a police officer and later served as a state attorney investigator.  He holds a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice, graduated cum laude from St. John’s University.  He obtained his B.S. degree in Criminology, graduated cum laude from Bethune-Cookman College.  He has been honored numerous times for his professional and civic contributions, and was named “Investigator of the Year,” in 2004, by the “National” Criminal Defense Council.

     His exciting new book, based on his actual case experience, reflects the high professional standards Mr. Ross has consistently exemplified.
