"Confessions of a Lie Detector" draws upon thirty years of working with people accused of crimes.

Gordon Barland, retired Chief of the Research Division, Department of Defense Polygraph Institute, called this book a "must read." Barland said of the author, "He offers insights into why people lie, later confess, and yet sometimes recant." He characterized Wygant's writing as reflecting, "...the heart of a poet and soul of a philosopher."

What happens to us when accused, rightly or wrongly? How do we defend ourselves? Here is the human side of the news, the deeper story that the media never reaches.

"Confessions of a Lie Detecto"r is a non-fiction book describing the experiences of the author, a polygraph examiner with over 30 years of experience.
