1. Carl Sagan's "Demon Haunted World"
Specifically the Baloney-Meter section

2. Probably not precisely what you're looking for, but I like
The Art of the Steal by Frank Abagnale and
The Big Con by David Maurer.

But those books mostly have to do with fraud and cons.

3. look into criminal profiling and interrogation
many of them have chapters on judging body language and personal behavior during regular questioning.
