More about the book
Set in the 1960s, the narrative explores the tactics private investigators used to expose fraudulent injury claims by engaging with claimants to demonstrate their physical capabilities. This practice, known as the 'Rope Job,' significantly reduced costs for insurance companies until 1970, when legal challenges arose from claimants' attorneys citing invasion of privacy. Following this shift, insurers invested heavily in surveillance to investigate suspected fraud, often yielding little to no concrete outcomes.
