First, saw a great site for mystery writers. Looks like it could add some needed verisimilitude to my mysteries and for any fellow writers. It provides a top ten list for crime scene investigators, a checklist of sorts. If your detective aint doing these things, perhaps he should.
Secondly, another NaNoWriMo idea that is not meant for this year.
I had this idea several years ago. If you ever saw the movie Sneakers with Robert Redford, Sidney Pointier and Ben Kingsley, then you're already familiar with the plot. Ex-Army dude is contracted by the FBI to devise plans for a terrorist operation in his city. He's told it is all part of a plan by the government to get fresh ideas for enemy operations they might not immediately see. It's only after he submits his plans, is almost killed by the people who hired him and is arrested by the real FBI that he realizes the organization he gave his plans to was a terrorist cell. Naturally the FBI thinks he's a part of the terrorist group so he has to escape and track down the original group and stop them before they carry out any of his plan, all while evading capture and avoiding being killed by the terrorist cell. I think it would make for a pretty exciting thriller novel, which is why I am not doing it. Not a thriller writer at the moment.
