The Sound of Pursuit
This is the official podcast of Pursuit Magazine, an online community of private investigators, journalists, and truth-seekers of all stripes. In the podcast, we explore information sources, share tradecraft tips, and discuss ways to integrate new technology with old-school gumshoe know-how. We dig into myths about PI work and hear hard-won lessons from the field. And for the spy-curious outsider, we offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of real spies and PIs. We CAN handle the truth.

Southern Lies and Homicides
Susan Waller Lehmann is a private investigator, a criminal defense and capital mitigation specialist, a journalist, and an award-winning author. She’s written for Pursuit Magazine, and she’s got a new book coming out soon. It’s a collection of stories about her casework in the Deep South, from process service and bitter divorce cases to capital murder cases.
Southern Lies and Homicides is an honest peek behind the curtain at what a private investigator’s work is really like: often tedious, sometimes alarming, occasionally heartbreaking, and always, the most rewarding work there is. This collection is part memoir, part field guide. And it’s an essential read for anyone who’s considering this profession. In this episode, Hal and Susan talk about process service, defense cases, mitigation work, trash pulls, and much more.
Order Southern Lies and Homicides.
