This book will teach you to do it well.”  —Robert Grenier, chairman of ERG Partners, former director of the CIA Counter-Terrorism Center "In this entertaining, instructive, and fascinating book, Phil, Michael, and Susan lay out an easy-to-follow process for detecting deception, with real-life stories that are the stuff of spy novels.
