Robert Ellis: CITY OF FIRE, Chapter 15


Lena takes James Brant and his attorney, Buddy Paladino, to a polygraph room.

Antiperspirants sprayed on fingertips to prevent sweating, antihistamines or sedatives to raise or lower blood pressure, tacks placed in shoes and stepped on after every question to equalize the physiological response. Lena doesn’t trust Paladino, and still wonders how any defense attorney could ask for a polygraph test when his client stands accused of stabbing his wife to death.
