Not James Bond and not much like P. at all, but I'm reading Mortal Bonds, the second book by Michael Sears. The thing is it's a series (of 2 so far) featuring Jason Stafford, a self-employed financial investment investigator in NYC. He didn't mean to get into this line of work, but after being convicted and doing time for investment fraud his options are limited. So Stafford finds employment with the firms he used to deal with conducting "inside" investigations - for those times when bodies are found or money is missing. It's good if you like that kind of escapist stuff - I've just never encountered this type of employment specialty before and here I come up with two.
