Brian Drake, man about
town and author of the STEVE
DANE THRILLERS, threw some questions at me for an interview on his
blog, BRIAN DRAKE AT LARGE…
PAUL BISHOP’S LIE
CATCHERS
Here's a good one for those of you tired of the
same-old-same with your police stories. Paul Bishop's LIE CATCHERS is a corker
of a book, and a big plus are the bonus features. Paul includes two personal
essays from his amazing law enforcement career: his first interrogation, and
his last. They are terrific insights into what makes cops tick. There's more
that I can say about them, but that takes us into spoiler territory. You simply
have to read this one for yourself.
I slapped the cuffs on Paul and tossed him into my own
holding tank for this interview:
Brian Drake: What
inspired Lie Catchers?
Paul Bishop: I
was looking for a new twist on an established genre. While pulling my hair out
watching an interrogation conducted by real world detectives on an episode of
48 Hours, I realized I’d never come across a novel, movie, or TV show
portraying the successful interrogation
techniques I’d developed over thirty plus years with the LAPD dealing with
uncountable suspects. I now teach
interrogation to numerous law enforcement agencies – not just the techniques,
but the psychological and physical sciences behind them. Finally, I took the
hint my subconscious had been using to batter me and realized I was in a unique
position to write an interrogation based novel and make it as realistic as
fiction would allow. Lie Catchers is the result.
