Is he having an affair?

When you absolutely have to know the truth, that’s the time you’re most likely to be lied to. The average person lies twice a day. The average person is a very practiced liar. But when amateurs try to catch someone in a lie, they perform so poorly they might as well be guessing.

As a forensic psychiatrist, an M.D. who deals with criminals and the criminally insane, I go up against the best liars there are. Their future depends on whether they can fake me out. My safety — alone in the interview room with men who have killed only the day before — depends on reading the clues to what they’re really about.

Just Out — Virgin Lies

The more often a person tells a lie, the better he gets at it. As he practices his lie, he can tailor the words to other people’s reactions, he can adjustVirginLiesSMCover the phrasing and tone of voice, and he can omit details that conflict with facts his audience is already aware of.

If you want to catch a liar, you want to get him before he’s had a chance to rehearse. You must catch him in the virgin lie.

VIRGIN LIES is the second book featuring the forensic psychiatrist Paul Lucas.
