Lie Hunter is Dr David Craig’s easy-to-read guide that demonstrates through practical examples how to apply ‘lie detecting’ skills in your day-to-day life. From the simple skills of bargaining, making a purchase, or dealing with children through to negotiating a contract or identifying infidelity, he delivers simple but effective tips and techniques we can all use to see behind the facade and get to the truth.

Lie Hunter is the culmination of over twenty years of practical criminology and hundreds of hours of academic research. Dr David Craig has used these techniques extensively. This book is an easy-to-read, lighthearted and academically credentialed guide on how to detect lies.

It is a practical and useful tool to support law enforcement, education, parents, relationships, workplace interviews, and business activities.
