Thanks for the links....you can also get a lot of good information
from the books listed on Derren's C4 website, although most will say
the same thing to more or less an extent.
The exception (and for me the best book on lie detection EVER)
is 'Truth Extraction' by Clifford Coetzee and someone else whose name
escapes me at this moment in time (Graham something I think). This
deals with spotting lies in person and in text, and provides a lot of
body language info that even body language books don't bring up. It's
a fairly slim volume yet incredibly dense and incredibly detailed,
yet easy enough to read. Can't recommend it highly enough!!
