Todo lo oye, todo lo ve, todo lo sabe

He hears everything, sees everything, knows everything is a masterful essay that addresses the exciting life of the first private detectives. In addition, he offers us an exciting journey through time: we will witness the birth of the profession, in the early nineteenth century, in France and the United States, we will see its complex establishment in Spain, a country with an unstable police model and political violence that cannot ceased, we will go through the history of our first agencies and learn about their way of working and their ambiguous relationship with the official police, without neglecting some of their most relevant cases. Plagued by anecdotes and surprising data, we will witness little-known episodes, such as the hiring by the Government of Alfonso XII of detectives to follow in the footsteps of his mother, Elizabeth II, in Paris, or the agreement of the Spanish embassy in Washington with the famous Pinkerton agency to spy on Cuban independence fighters in the United States. And we will experience in first person the hard and complex struggle of women to break through in a markedly masculine world. Enjoy the journey.
