Henry Wilkens burst through the doors of the emergency room covered in his wife's blood. Was he a grieving husband, or a ruthless killer who had conspired with bandits to have her murdered? San Francisco police turned to a new machine that had just been invented in Berkeley. The inventors, John Larson, Gus Vollmer and Leonarde Keeler, hoped the lie detector would make the justice system fairer. Instead the flawed device poisoned their lives, turned fast friends into bitter enemies, and transformed our relationship with the truth in ways that are still being felt. Katwala reveals the incredible truth behind the creation of the polygraph. -- adapted from back cover   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.254 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.254 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.254 Katwala Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.254 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.254 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.254 Ka Checked In Add Copy to MyList
