Pilpher & Stride's Private Investigations
From Absit Omen Lexicon
4 1/2 Ripple Rd, Barking, London
A private eye firm founded by Foy Pilpher and Giuseppe Stride. They primarily conduct investigations on behalf of businesses, especially concerning business-related magical crime such as racketeering, fraud, smuggling, and espionage. They're considered scrappy and to do good work. They have a tenuous relationship with the Ministry of Magic but are overall cooperative.
They have a few dangerous clients and therefore have to be a bit hardass to maintain personal and professional safety.
In 2011, they were victims of an as yet unsolved burglary by thief-for-hire Nathan Briggs.
