Are you looking for RL accounts of being a PI? If so, I've got a couple of books I can recommend. They're not literary masterpieces, but they're unsensationalistic (urm...is that a word?) and give a pretty good idea of the real day-to-day of the job, which is far more tedious than it appears on TV :)
William Pankhurst - True Detectives Marilyn Greene (with ghostwriter) - Finder: the true story of a PI
and one about being a tracker, which I found fascinating because it's partly about training for the job, and part personal memoir:
