THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES Uncovering the Fact from Fiction

How can you spot a lie? Ex-cop Andy Shea and writer Steve Van Aperen take a look at humans' attempts to find the truth, from the medieval days of trial by ordeal to the present. The authors use real-life cases, from famous crimes to comments by U.S. presidents, to make their points. James Wright narrates with a droll tone that makes the authors' opinions entertaining as well as informative. The book looks at all angles of the quest for truth, offering advice to avoid getting taken, while acknowledging that a perfect solution like a truth serum is the stuff of fiction.
