Now you see him, now you don't
He hears your telephone conversations. He reads your email. He knows where you are. Right. This. Minute.
He's Mark Chauppetta, private investigator. And he's watching you.
Or not. Come on, he's not GOD, for heaven's sake! He needs to be hired, first of all. And he needs a case. (By the way, he doesn't listen to phone conversations or read emails 'cause that's illegal.) It's usually not the pretty side of life — cheating spouses, murders, and rapes have all figured in his investigations. In fact, read the headlining court cases in the paper, and chances are, Mark Chauppetta and his stealthy ways have been involved. (Shhhhh...don't tell!)
The Whitman, Massachusetts native has pounded the policing path since he dropped out of college at the age of 19 to work as a prison guard on the graveyard shift at MCI Bridgewater, a medium-security prison that locked up every type of offender under the sun. While Mark was often fascinated by the psyche of an inmate, he quickly learned to always keep his distance emotionally. "Fair but firm" became Mark's mantra. Then, in a random encounter with a movie producer, he was asked to join an acting program in Hollywood, where he lived in a mansion and studied the craft. But after two years without a big break, selling wheatgrass on Sunset Boulevard was starting to look like a plausible career. So Mark returned to his roots and joined a private investigation agency. The Hollywood lights were enticing for sure, but snooping was his true calling.
Now back in Boston, Mark has run his own private investigation agency for 23 years. The limelight still has a thing for him: he's been involved with two reality PI programs and is currently pursuing a third in the United Kingdom. But Mark is really devoted to his clients, his students (he teaches a class at Massasoit Community College), and his publisher (he's written a book about cheating)...and, maybe, to watching you. Don't turn around...
