Have you ever looked at someone and thought:
He looks honest.
She seems friendly.
He doesn't look like a serial killer.
Are you always right?
Looks can be deceiving, but handwriting never lies.
Handwriting profiling is an amazingly accurate tool for
assessing how people think, feel, and act. In fact,
handwriting profiling is so accurate that the FBI, the CIA,
and the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad use it to build
detailed psychological profiles of some of the world's most
dangerous individuals. And thousands of major corporations
use handwriting profiling to help them make the right hiring
decisions. Handwriting expert Michelle Dresbold -- the only civilian to
be invited to the United States Secret Service's Advanced
Document Examination training program -- draws on her
extensive experience helping law enforcement agencies around
the country on cases involving kidnapping, arson, forgery,
murder, embezzlement, and stalking to take us inside the
mysterious world of crossed t's and dotted i's. In Sex, Lies, and Handwriting, Dresbold explains how a
single sentence can provide insight into a person's
background, psychology, and behavior. Throughout the book,
Dresbold explores the handwriting of sly politicians,
convicted criminals, notorious killers, suspected cheats,
and ordinary people who've written to Dresbold's "The
Handwriting Doctor" column for help. She shows you how to
identify the signs of a dirty rotten scoundrel and a lying,
cheating, backstabbing lover. And she introduces you to some
of the most dangerous traits in handwriting, including
weapon-shaped letters, "shark's teeth," "club strokes," and
"felon's claws." (When you see these traits in someone's
script, she says, "it's time to stop reading and start
running!") Dresbold also explains how criminals are tracked through
handwritten clues and what spouses, friends, or employees
might be hiding in their script. Finally, Dresbold re-examines the handwriting evidence in
several notorious unsolved cases. She uncovers fascinating
clues that reveal the secret side of Lizzie Borden,
acquitted of the ax murder of her parents in 1893's "trial
of the century." Dresbold also reveals astonishing details
about the author of the JonBen�t Ramsey ransom note, and she
presents startling new evidence that exposes the real Jack
the Ripper (contrary to popular theories, he wasn't a prince
or a painter after all). Sex, Lies, and Handwriting will have you paying a bit
more attention to your -- and everyone else's -- penmanship.
