Autorenporträt
Harry Gossett served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam era, but in California, not Vietnam. Throughout a twenty-year veteran of the FBI, he learned a wide variety of investigative techniques, but more importantly, he met Barbara Rowan, a federal prosecutor who became the love of his life. Later, they both worked for the 95th Congress. He returned to the FBI, and she became an Assistant Director of the Federal Trade Commission. Harry left the FBI to join Barbara in an investigative consulting firm which required them to travel the world on behalf of over eighteen hundred client companies during that thirty-five-year career. He wrote this book to share the happy details of their half century together.
