Join expert US military interrogator Lena Sisco as she speaks to Goldster Book Club's Humphrey Hawksley about her bestseller You're Lying. With her many television appearances, Lena has earned the title of ‘celebrity lie detector’. How do you know when you’re being lied to? How do you get the truth out of someone who doesn’t want to tell – from a two-faced boss to a salesperson? Lena is open to questions from the audience.
The certified Department of Defense interrogator will also reveal how she questioned suspected terrorists in America’s Guantanamo Bay detention camp after 9/11 to find out if - or when - another attack was planned.
Win a signed book if you spot Lena lying during her interview!
This FREE online event is on Thursday, February 24, 2022, from 1200 GMT - 1300 GMT (0700 EST - 0800 EST)..
