Book excerpt: I was inspired to write this book from working more than four decades as an investigative reporter for The Hartford Courant and afterward as a freelance newsman. Once I started writing, I couldn't stop. It was simultaneously the most difficult, yet inspiring tasks of my life. Editors, news sources and subjects constantly looked over the shoulder. Fortunately, I was only sued once for liable and ultimately after endless, aggravating days at trial, the newspaper, three of my news sources and I won! Only I researched and wrote that story after months of investigation. That made probes much more intense and nerve wracking than when I worked with wondrous news investigative reporters as partners and full witnesses to the day-by-day interviews and lengthy research. But the book is as well an autobiographical explanation showing scores of inspirations which led to my investigative career in journalism. This partially explains its title.
