Female Spies

| THEY are branded the Honey Trappers - silk-stocking-stalkers on the mean streets of Manhattan with just one prey in mind - men. But not just any men - married men on the prowl themselves for that "little bit on the side". Yet getting entangled with these lovelies usually means a one-way ticket to the divorce courts. For the beauties who work as Honey Trappers have been hired to snare wayward husbands by their wives. Catching a spouse who's louse is the latest game being played by married women determined to check whether their husband is capable of undying fidelity. Dressed to thrill in stockings, leather mini-skirts, high-heels and low-cut blouses, these glamorous gunshoes are the ultimate test of a marital bond. "Sometimes, they are actually not interested," says Justine Ski, a knockout 30-year-old private eye working for the Monte Investigations Group. "But plenty of times I have accompanied these very married men whose wives worried about them back to hotel rooms and - Bingo! They're nailed." Ski and her colleagues in this booming Big Apple business stop far short of having sex, or even heavy petting, with the love cheats. Sophisticated listening devices are secreted in her ample cleavage, or in a buttonholed flower, pick up the words that damn the cheating man forever. And that's not all - there's usually photographic evidence. Ski explains: "I start by making eye contact in a bar with a guy, get to talk to him and flirt a little. If we get to leave the premises I have someone in a car taking pictures. That is usually evidence enough for the wives." But not all female private eyes believe the honey-trapping is the ethical way to go in tracking down the unfaithful hearts. Debra Burdett, president of the Women Investigator's Association, confirms that the numbers of wives checking up on their husbands has shot up in recent months. Yet she prefers the old-fashioned approach - catching him cheating rather than setting him up for a fall. "Tricking him into it is unfair. If any woman dolls herself up and wears a short skirt, what man couldn't resist at least gawking a little?" That view is shared by Beverly Lange, owner of Alert Private Investigations. "A lot of these decoys are inexperienced investigators and it's not something I approve of, even though most of my work is matrimonial," she said. But Frank Monte, boss of Justine's agency, said: "Business is booming and it takes a long time to actually catch a man cheating. You have to follow him 24 hours a day and watch his every move which can cost a pretty penny at the rate of $75-150 an hour. If he's going to play around, let's send in a catalyst. That's what we do." Justine Ski, the daughter of a diplomat, sometimes carries a gun on her missions d'amour and makes upwards of 45,000 pounds a year in the job. "I do other stuff," she says, "like missing kids, fraud, infiltrating an office or a computer firm. These things take time. But with a suspected cheater, you only get one shot. More often than not I leave the bar with a man at 2am - the fact that he's left with you at that hour says it all. But I always defuse the situation at the critical time. I've dabbled in acting - it helps!" |
