From top CEO's salaries to police records, you'll learn little-known tricks for discovering the exact information you're looking for. You'll learn: - How to really tap the power of Google, and why Google is the best place to start a search, but never the best place to finish it.

- How to dig up seemingly confidential information on people and businesses, from public and private companies to non-profits and international companies.
