description: <div><b>About the Jake & Annie Lincoln Series</b><br>Not so long ago, Jake had been a construction engineer for one of Canada's largest land developers. At the time, Annie had been doing part-time research for a variety of companies from her home office. When the business Jake worked for had gotten into financial difficulties, he'd been laid off. <br>He'd moped around the house a few weeks, then one day approached Annie with the idea of expanding her growing business and taking on the name of Lincoln Investigations. Annie had decided it wouldn't hurt to give it a whirl. <br>Their new venture had required they take the proper course, get PI licenses, and pass police background checks. Several weeks later, they'd designed and printed new letterhead, gotten a dedicated phone line, and proudly displayed their diplomas on the office wall. <br>Lincoln Investigations had been born. <br>Though routine searches for missing persons, background checks for businesses, and research for legal firms were still their mainstays, they'd found themselves involved in several high-profile cases. Dangerous people of all kinds had crossed their paths. With the help of their growing relationship with RHPD, Lincoln Investigations had successfully tracked down some of Richmond Hill's worst criminals.</div>
