Spies, Lies, and Resolutions Thomas E Brannon

In this, his second book, Tom Brannon has dug through his personal memory-bank, then put fingers-to-keyboard to give us an inside look at some of the many cases he worked. First as a young policeman, then as a special agent for NCIS, and finally ending his career working for the State of California. His career in law enforcement spanned more than forty years, and during those years he covered most of Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The cases he has chosen to write about vary from murder, rape, robbery, theft, to grave robbery, terrorist activity, and espionage. Each case an actual one he personally was involved in, many where he was the polygraph examiner determining whether the subject was lying or telling the truth. There is the case of the first defector of the Vietnam War; a young Marine who gave secrets to the Soviets in exchange for sex; a sailor who had intentions of sinking a nuclear submarine; F-14 aircraft sabotage; a terrorist group in Greece; a sailor's drowning which turned out to be a hoax. Just to name a few. A collection of stories which will keep you alternating between suspense, shock, and even laughter.
