Book Description
Amelia Kahaney's All the Best Liars is a dark, modern psychological thriller and coming-of-age story about obsession, manipulation, and the intensity of those first friendships that take hold of you and never let go Tic-tac-toe, three girls in a row. Nine years old and inseparable. Friends for life, or so they think . . . Best friends Syd, Rain, and Brie grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in the stifling California desert, desperately wishing for a way out. When a deadly fire is set two weeks before the end of high school, nothing will ever be the same. In the end, each of them will escape—but not in the way any of them expects. One will do it by dying, another by lying, a third by taking the fall. With gorgeous, taut prose and twists to the very last page, All the Best Liars alternates between the present and the past to unravel the truth behind the fire and the cost of the secrets at the heart of their friendship.

Book Description
Did President Roosevelt know Pearl Harbor would be attacked? Why would anyone even think that? Our presidents are straight shooters who-- never mind. Navy Lieutenant Lowell Brady isn't the sharpest tool in the shed-- the handsome rogue does his best work between the sheets-- but he can add two and two. The smart thing is to shut up about what's coming and keep his White House job. He doesn't do the smart thing. Caught trying to warn the Pacific Fleet, he's sent to the hottest battles to be killed. Somehow he survives, but that doesn't mean the government gives up. Too many reputations are at stake. Smithsonian researcher Harriet Gallatin finds him at an old soldier's home and gets the story. But that makes her a fugitive too, and the FBI and CIA start closing in.

Famous liars include people you might have learned about in school, like P. T.

The book will also include illustrations, sidebars, and infographics.

Big Liars
Author: Christian L Hart
Publisher: American Psychological Association
ISBN: 1433837528
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This book investigates the science behind “big liars”—those rare people who use lies as their principal way of navigating life. Most people are mostly honest, most of the time. And there aren't that many big, pants-on-fire liars in the population overall. But just a few big liars can have an outsized impact on the people around them--ruining personal relationships, bankrupting businesses, and even, when they attain political power, undermining the fabric of society. Big Liars explores this small but dangerous group through the lens of psychological science. Fascinating new research gives us insight into the nature of dishonesty and dishonest people, explaining who lies, what types of people lie a lot, how often people lie, how big liars are created, how they operate, how we can recognize them, and how we can avoid being victimized by them. This book has crucial implications for mental health treatment, as well as our efforts to grapple with the effects of big liars—and their big lies—on social movements and society as a whole.
