How to create plots for an industry sabotage thriller...

If you are following the NZ news lately, you would come across the news about the food contamination scandal involving a large company. The chain of events that unfolded will make a very good plot for a suspense thriller:-

• The big corporate has more than 40% stake in a joint venture company in a foreign country.
• Some directors served in the board of this joint venture company.
• The board was advised that there was an issue with the contamination in the product on early August and a trade recall begun on the same day.
• Yet, the public recall only occur almost one month later.
• During the process someone got sick consuming the product.
• The plot thickens...someone died as a result.
• When asked why the company did not act sooner, the answers given were:-
• it would have been irresponsible for not to have followed the guidelines of the local authorities
• it would be irresponsible not to have followed the rules of an individual market place
• they are a minority shareholder in that joint venture (even though it has more than 40% stake)
• their efforts to push for product recall were blocked by the foreign government officials
• The head of the state then chipped in and claimed to be whistle blower.
• Now the head of the company proclaimed loudly: "Someone sabotaged our product!" (even though he has no concrete proof yet)
  

The plot continues...
