Just the Facts, Ma'Am
by Greg Fallis
With practical information and extensive detail, former PI Greg Fallis uses real-life scenarios to show writers how investigative professionals, both public and private, gather evidence, interview witnesses, determine motives and find the answers they're looking for. To help writers keep their facts straight, Fallis begins by explaining the qualifications, duties, powers and restrictions of investigators, from gumshoe PIs and police detectives to corporate and insurance investigators. He also explores fact-finding techniques including surveillance, interrogation, "dumpster diving", bugging and even infrared photography.
Plotting and Writing Suspense Fiction
by Patricia Highsmith
Patricia Highsmith, author of Strangers on a Train, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Found in the Street, and many other books, is known as one of the finest living suspense novelists.

She talks, among other topics, about how to develop a complete story from an idea; what makes a plot gripping; the use (and abuse) of coincidence; characterization and the 'likable criminal'; going from first draft to final draft; and writing the suspense short story.
