Fascinating paper - full pdf here:
"Abstract: A neglected area in deception research is what constitutes a good liar. On the basis of deception theory, people's views about how liars respond, impression for- mation theory and persuasion theory, we describe 18 attributes that in our view are pre- sent in a good liar. Insight into these characteristics will help law enforcement person- nel in two ways: It provides insight into who would be suitable for undercover opera- tions, and it may help lie detectors, because one reason why people make errors in lie detection is that they do not take the full complexity of deception into account and seem to have limited knowledge about what is actually going on in a liar's mind."
