Spy the Lie, by former CIA officers Philip Houston, Michael Floyd and Susan Carnicero with Don Tennant, explains the method they developed at the agency for detecting deception in interviews, published in 2012. The authors describe verbal and nonverbal behaviors that can signal a lie, such as failing to answer a question, attacking the questioner or offering overly specific answers, and stress looking for clusters of indicators. They illustrate the method with real interviews and public figures.
