Fictional Deceptions by K Scot Macdonald

Surprise, suspense and entertaining plot twists are crucial to all fiction, and behind all three is the art and science of deception. Where's a law abiding, morally upstanding writer to turn for lessons on the principles of deception, the fine art of misdirection, and the ins and outs of obfuscation? Drawing lessons from more than 200 novels, plays and films, as well as from conmen, magicians, spies and generals, Fictional Deceptions shows you how to use the 7 principles and 10 techniques of deception to baffle, mislead and surprise your audience, which will most certainly entertain them.
