[blindlaw] conducting investigations

[Robert Munro]

I recommend the following two books, written by interrogators who worked for the CIA; both are available on Audible.

Spy the Lie https://www.audible.com/pd/Spy-the-Lie-Audiobook/B008CP6XE2?qid=1540910472&sr=sr_1_1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=FWYAGDJMT03YJWEGFR8H& <https://www.audible.com/pd/Spy-the-Lie-Audiobook/B008CP6XE2?qid=1540910472&sr=sr_1_1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=FWYAGDJMT03YJWEGFR8H&>

The authors describe the types of behaviors that people can engage in when telling a lie, and techniques to help you persuade the person to open up about what they are attempting to conceal.
There is no one magic bullet, but I have found these techniques helpful when interviewing clients and witnesses.
Good luck.

Onward!
