A handwriting expert reveals the secrets hidden in your
penmanship-now featuring a new afterword analyzing the handwriting
of President Donald Trump. 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." Dresbold also explains how criminals are
tracked through handwritten clues and what spouses, friends, or
employees might be hiding in their script. Sex, Lies, and
Handwriting will have you paying a bit more attention to your-and
everyone else's-penmanship.
