A Cincinnati Private Eye Protecting Princess Di: A Fascinating Footnote In History - Softcover

Remarkably, Princess Diana of Wales and I actively worked on a case together. She'd personally contacted my Shamus Detective Agency in 1993!

Princess Diana's childhood friend, Juli, needed to find her 11 year son. He'd been kidnapped from London two years earlier and was possibly in Cincinnati.

This true story details the adventure of Princess Diana, Juli and I! We traveled undetected through Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. Always following the kidnapper and looking for any sign of the boy. The search included a quick, yet frightful, trip to Phoenix.

We encountered dangerous close calls and high speed chases! Our cover was nearly blown when we were spotted on a stakeout and another time when Princess Diana was recognized.

You'll read about our hilarious and fun times! Including a visit to a Blues Bar in Memphis, and Princess Diana doing her own undercover investigation in Louisville!

However, our main goal never wavered. We had to get the boy! Before it was too late!

When she was asked how she got the cool job of writing about Princess Diana she shared her story: "Is there anything that you have never done but would like to do? And, if so, what would it be? " This was the whimsical question that my part-time boss, an attorney, asked me one day. My response came easily. I told him that I would, one, like to write a book and, two, work in a library; even if it was shelving books! In an interesting twist a few months later my boss came to me and asked: "Do you still want to write a book? I have a client who is looking for someone to do just that. It has to be someone that he can trust 100% with confidential information." He went on to say, "I suggested you, he'll be calling you. His name is Mac." I laughed thinking he was teasing me. He wasn't. Sure enough, Rich "Mac" McDonough called to set up a face to face meeting with me. Turns out he is a prominent private investigator of many years in Cincinnati OH. I didn't want to meet at his office because I would have felt intimidated. A restaurant would be too noisy. We arranged to meet at the Kenton County Library in Covington, KY. I was curious as to what type of book he had in mind. Mac began to tell me a fascinating story about a case he had worked on with Princess Diana of Wales. The one-time future Queen of England! I told Mac that I thought I could handle it even though I had absolutely no experience as a book writer. We worked out some details and he hired me on the spot. Right then and there I had to sign a 'confidentiality agreement' which Mac readily had in his briefcase.
