Dorothy Dunnett, the brilliant author of historical novels, including the Lymond Series and the House of Niccolo, discusses how to maintain a mystery over a long publishing time scale by the use of red herrings in her stories.
This talk was given in Philadelphia in October 2000 at the Dorothy Dunnett Readers Meeting.
