Summary
The authors of Spy the Lie turn from spotting possible deception to asking questions that elicit information. Drawing on their work in intelligence and investigations, they present an interview process supported by examples from their careers. The book applies that process to work and personal conversations. It explains the authors’ approach to gathering truthful answers; it does not make any single response a substitute for independent checks.
Why read it Our view
Examine a structured process for questions and follow-up during business interviews and investigations, with independent verification still required.
