ABOUT THIS SESSION

Some of the most unforgettable thrillers are driven by characters who refuse to follow the rules. In this dynamic discussion moderated by Bruce DeSilva, authors explore the power of lone wolves and loose cannons in suspense fiction. They examine how unpredictable protagonists and morally gray decisions heighten tension, complicate stakes, and keep readers guessing until the final page.
