Thriller Writing Tip: Play With Trust and Betrayal
Your Hero is about to be thrust into a world of uncertainty, competing agendas, and downright deception. It will be totally outside of their comfort zone, so they’ll naturally look for someone they can trust.
That creates all kinds of emotional opportunities for you as the writer. Trustable characters may be forced to betray your hero. Devious characters may turn out to be trustable. The person we believe in most may end up being the Villain.
Trust is a wonderful thing in real life, but in a thriller, it is a valuable tool for the writer.
