complex, always authentic...With this book Paul Bishop joins the ranks of great
novelists." ~ JONATHON KELLERMAN

is uniquely his own." ~ JAMES ELLROY

LIE CATCHERS
With
her special abilities, top LAPD Robbery-Homicide detective Calamity Jane Randall thought she knew all about interrogation
until she was partnered with detective Ray Pagan. Wielding a suspect’s vocal
intonations, emotions, and physical gestures like a scalpel, Pagan’s empathetic
lie catching abilities are legendary.
Both
detectives are scarred by past tragedies, but together they threaten to tear
the city apart searching for a duo of missing children – a search where the
right answer to the wrong question can mean sudden death.
Ripped
from the experiences of thirty-five year veteran LAPD detective and nationally
recognized interrogator, Paul Bishop, Lie
Catchers takes the reader inside the dark and dangerous mind games of the
men and women for whom truth is an
obsession.
The
star of the ABC interrogation reality show Take
the Money and Run, from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Paul Bishop is the
author of fourteen previous novels, including five in his LAPD Detective Fey
Croaker series, and is the co-creator and editor of the successful Fight Card series of New Pulp novels. He
has twice been honored as LAPD Detective of the Year, and continues to work as
a deception detection expert.
