Alarmingly and frighteningly, around 630 000 people go missing every year in America. Of that sobering figure, most are located. Despairingly and heartbreakingly, some 90 000 of that number are never found. (In Australia annually, some 38 000 people are reported to police each year as being missing. Most of these folk are found within a short space of time, with about 2 600 of them being missing for longer than three months).

I’ve long wanted to write a story where I take something that is considered a universal positive—the love of a parent for their child—and super-charge it and challenge it to the point where that love becomes dangerous. In my experience, we will do things to protect the ones we would love that we would never do, that we could never justify doing, on our own behalf, and that makes for a powerful starting point for a story.

"This is a bit amusing. But ultimately daft." Photos / SuppliedEnd of StoryBy AJ Finn(HarperCollins, $36.99) This is the second thriller from AJ Finn; his first, Woman in the Window, was a bestseller. His backstory was a bestseller – until his stories about his brain cancer and his family’s fate turned out to be mostly bullshit. Well, he is a fiction writer. Finn, whose real name is Dan Mallory, is also, as I found, a hugely engaging interviewee. AJ Finn's 'End of Story'.

Despite what thousands of writing craft books will have you believe, there's no "one great trick to write a bestseller," but it is true that all good fiction requires the same basic elements and those basic elements haven't changed since we huddled around a campfire. Two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote Poetics, a work on dramatic theory. He advised would-be writers to excite pity and fear in their audiences, and to deliver catharsis.
