Shrewd Little Sleuth reads like Forrest Gump meets L.A. Confidential, a real-life descent into espionage, power, and moral reckoning that spans from Pearl Harbor to Hollywood’s smoky backrooms. It’s a deeply personal investigation into truth, legacy, and the roots of modern authoritarianism.

Scott A. Leckie is an international human rights lawyer and Director and Founder of Displacement Solutions (www.displacementsolutions.org), a global not-for-profit NGO dedicated to resolving displacement generated by global warming and climate change. 

He also founded and directs Oneness World Foundation (www.onenessworld.org), a research think tank exploring questions of world-centric political evolution and new forms of global governance and world citizenship. He manages the One House, One Family (OHOF) initiative, a project in Bangladesh that funds and builds permanent and free homes for climate displaced families. To date, OHOF has built 18 homes to some of Bangladesh’s most vulnerable families.
