Nothing But the Truth by Maryann Karinch Pdf

“Shocking, real-life spy secrets . . . Dangerously powerful psychological and emotional levers that instantly allow the reader to build and leverage trust.” —Janine Driver, body-language contributor to NBC’s Today Show and New York Times–bestselling author To get the truth from someone, you need two sets of skills. The first are the interpersonal skills necessary to get the facts. But the second group of skills is equally if not more important: they enable you to assess whether the facts actually fit together—whether they are true—and identify the emotions that shaped them. In Nothing but the Truth, top intelligence experts from the worlds of espionage, business, and law enforcement reveal how they get the information they need and give you the key tools to get the information you need, including: A system to vet sources Eight conversation motivators that help you drive toward the truth Techniques to turn a hostile source into a cooperative one The means to control the sequence of a conversation Getting the truth through email or on the phone Whether your aim is to grill suspects and witnesses, help someone with an urgent need, figure out who is lying or cheating, or upgrade your ability to be honest with yourself, Nothing but the Truth will show you how to do it. “Karinch has amassed an extraordinary compilation of analysis and practical advice by top experts in the field. There is nothing on the book market quite like it. It will change the way you look at yourself and other people. You will find it to be a fun and highly valuable read.” —Jack Devine, author of Good Hunting, former head of CIA

An Assassin's Guide to Love and Treason by Virginia Boecker Pdf

Shakespeare in Love meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this witty and thrilling story of star-crossed assassins in Elizabeth England, perfect for fans of My Lady Jane and TheGentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue! When Lady Katherine's father is killed for being an illegally practicing Catholic, she discovers treason wasn't the only secret he's been hiding: he was also involved in a murder plot against the reigning Queen Elizabeth I. With nothing left to lose, Katherine disguises herself as a boy and travels to London to fulfill her father's mission, and to take it one step further -- kill the queen herself. Katherine's opportunity comes in the form of William Shakespeare's newest play, which is to be performed in front of Her Majesty. But what she doesn't know is that the play is not just a play. It's a plot to root out insurrectionists and destroy the rebellion once and for all. The mastermind behind this ruse is Toby Ellis, a young spy for the queen with secrets of his own. When Toby and Katherine are cast opposite each other as the play's leads, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. But the closer they grow, the more precarious their positions become. And soon they learn that star-crossed love, mistaken identity, and betrayal are far more dangerous off the stage than on.
