Book Description
“The intricacies of family and the complexities of the games they play mingle wonderfully here in a memoir quite unlike any other.”—George Plimpton, author of Truman Capote Katy Lederer grew up on the bucolic campus of an exclusive East Coast boarding school where her father taught English, her mother retreated into crosswords and scotch, and her much older siblings played “grown-up” games like gin rummy and chess. But Katy faced much more than the typical trials of childhood. Within the confines of the Lederer household an unlikely transformation was brewing, one that would turn this darkly intellectual and game-happy group into a family of professional gamblers. Poker Face is Katy Lederer’s perceptive account of her family’s lively history. From the long kitchen table where her mother played what seemed an endless game of solitaire, to the seedy New York bars where her brother first learned to play poker, to the glamorous Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, where her sister and brother wager hundreds of thousands of dollars a night at the tables, Lederer takes us on a tragicomic journey through a world where intelligence and deceit are used equally as currency. Not since Mary McCarthy’s Memories of a Catholic Girlhood has a writer cast such a witty and astringently analytic eye on the demands of growing up. An unflinching exploration of trust and betrayal, competition, suspicion, and unconventional familial love, Poker Face is a testament to the human spirit’s inventiveness when faced with unusually difficult odds.

Book Description
Held captive for her ability to read people’s true emotions, Caitlyn is forced to work for a ruthless man who never gives up what he considers his. Caitlyn’s ability to see the true emotions beneath the masks has finally caught up with her. She’s now a prisoner, forced to use her gifts to advance the shady business dealings of rich and powerful casino owner, Santiago Gomez. As his captive, Caitlyn witnesses illegal deals and meets his criminal connections, and she soon realizes that Santiago will never let her escape—she’s seen too much, and she’s making him too much money. Her only hope is her boyfriend Eric and the scribbled note she left him before she was dragged into this mess. Eric knows something bad has happened to Caitlyn, and he’s positive she didn’t really want to break up with him like she’d written in her note. But she’s disappeared without a trace and he has no idea where to search for her first. Panicked and desperate, Eric follows a tenuous lead to Las Vegas, not caring that his rescue attempt might cost him his life. All he knows, is that he has to find Caitlyn before it’s too late… This explosive ending to the Masks series is packed with gripping tension and a nail-biting conclusion that you won’t see coming. ★★★★★ "This was an amazing end to a truly terrific series." Katie J, reader review ★★★★★ "The romance, the suspense, that gut wrenching thrill of this adventure with Eric and Caity, there's just no word to describe it... you have to read the book yourself and experience the ride to feel how it felt. I was so immersed into the story that it didn't feel like I was reading it, it felt like was there…" Shy Unique, reader review

Book Description
Using the latest techniques from poker players to detect when your patients are lying to you. Forensic psychiatrists frequently deal with deceptive people. In these cases, malingering is the most common type of deception one encounters. However, deception on the part of mental health clients in other treatment settings is much broader and more complex than malingering, and learning the signs of deception can be useful for therapists in any specialty, especially those who do not necessarily take what their clients tell them at face value. The book begins with an introduction to some basic concepts concerning deception, with particular emphasis on “what it is” and “what it isn’t.” It then looks at the motivations behind and methods of deception in mental health practice, as well as the common contexts in which deception occurs. Finally, with an eye toward the detection of deception, the book looks at the game of poker as a “clinical case study” to explore whether the popular notion of “tells” has any relevance to the practice of mental health treatment. This short and uniquely illustrated guide will help mental health professionals determine when, why, and how their clients may lie to them. With some of the analysis based on insights from the world of poker players, readers will learn about methods of deception, reasons why clients deceive them, and the best methods to uncover the truth.
