 MODERN
BOUNTY HUNTING
A Real-Life Guide for the Bail Fugitive Recovery Agent
by Rex Venator
Much has changed in the bounty hunting business
since Paladin published its last book on the subject. Rex Venator
has owned and operated his own bail fugitive recovery agency for
the past 13 years, so he knows the realities of how the business
works today. In Modern Bounty Hunting, he tells you everything you
need to know to begin or further a career in bail fugitive recovery,
including:
* determining whether you have the temperament
and training to be a bounty hunter
* researching the bail, liability and deadly force laws in your
state
* making yourself more employable as a recovery agent
* protecting your identity and personal security from the bad guys
* setting up and running your own bail enforcement business
* tracking down, arresting, transporting and surrendering bail fugitives
* handling tricky cases, such as female prisoners, litigious families,
suspects under the influence of drugs and fugitives who are on their
third strike
* getting paid for your arrests
Not only does Venator give you textbook instructions
in how you should do all these things, each chapter has "lessons
from the street" that show how, even when you do everything right,
things can sometimes go very wrong.

 WORKING
IN A WAR ZONE
Cashing in Safely After the Shooting Stops
by Jeff Morris
Why would anyone want to work in a war zone? The
most common reason is money - and there is a lot of it to be made
in a war zone. Whether they are paid in dollars, marks or dinars,
war-zone workers often make 10 times what they would back home,
and quite a few make in one year what it would take them 20 to earn
back home. And the earnings may be tax free if you follow the rules
outlined in this book. Others choose to work in war zones because
of the travel. Not only are expenses to and from the war zone covered,
but workers frequently take breaks in nearby vacation spots for
almost nothing. It's the challenge of performing in a combat zone
that draws some to this work, and not a day goes by that some part
of you is not challenged in a war-torn area. Your motivation may
be more noble: you want to help people. In a war zone you can touch
the lives of so many people with just a little effort and compassion.
Whatever your motivation, if you are looking for an exciting new
job or personal challenge, Working in a War Zone is for you. Written
by a veteran war-zone worker, this entertaining guide is crammed
with practical advice on finding jobs, negotiating compensation,
locating safe shelter, managing your finances and everything else
you need to know to not only survive but prosper in a war zone.
