refreshingly wry sense of humor. Spy The Lie may not make you laugh out loud, but you’re guaranteed to chuckle to yourself more than once. Two of the most interesting chapters, “What Deception Looks Like” and “Let’s Be Careful Out There” debunk some of the myths we’ve all heard about lying and body language.

Of course, the methodology is a painstakingly perfected intelligence tool, but the authors make it digestible—offering up simple exercises readers can try out on their friends. The authors also has a knack for unpacking a serious subject like deception with a

In Spy the Lie, former CIA officers Philip Houston, Michael Floyd, ’92 JD, and Susan Carnicero, with the help of esteemed journalist Don Tennant, teach readers how to detect deceptive behavior in others. The authors share their expert knowledge through thrilling stories from the frontlines of counterterrorism and criminal investigations and help readers apply professional lie-detecting techniques to their daily lives. The last time you confronted your teenager about a missed curfew, did you get a straight answer? Can you say for certain that you’re always hearing the truth from your boss, your coworkers or your employees? And what about your spouse or significant other?
