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 "likeable criminal"; going from first draft to final draft; and writing the suspense short story.

Anyone who wishes to write crime and suspense fiction, or who enjoys reading it, will find this book an insightful guide to the craft and art of a modern master.
