West Boylston based private detective John Lajoie has been shot at. It happened in Worcester, on a golf course. There was no shoot-out. There was no high-speed chase through the hills of Worcester. Lajoie took cover and called the police. The shooter fled. That's the life of a real private investigator.

John Lajoie is a private investigator, but he does not duck bullets while driving. No dashing music accompanies his entrance into his office. He never sneaks into someone's home or taps anyone's phone lines.

Cinema and television have glamorized his career, but Lajoie insists he and his colleagues are not international men of intrigue.
