《灵书妙探》案件背后的故事 　　理查德是位畅销小说家,全美国都是他的书迷,连纽约市市长都是他的粉丝。他刚刚用主人公斯托姆的死结束了一个畅销小说系列,正苦于没有新的灵感时,在纽约市警察局当探长的凯特突然找上门来――最近的两宗案件里,凶手用的手法竟然和理查德书里的一模一样! 　　美国人确实很喜欢探案推理剧,而且总能找到新的切入点,让推理迷看得津津有味。《灵书妙探》原本只是ABC在两个电视季之间推出的过渡品。谁料这部没有奇人异士、也不哗众取宠的轻松短剧只靠演员的过硬演技和风趣睿智的对白便引起人们的关注,ABC甚至决定出版实体小说为9月底开播的第二季造势――不知道理查德和凯特这对搭档在新的一季里又会擦出怎样的火花呢? 　　 　　模仿杀人犯的出现让理查德非常感兴趣,他主动提出协助警方进行调查,凯特看不惯他的轻浮举止…… 　　 　　Kate: Why are you here? You don’t care about the victims, so you aren’t here for justice. You don’t care that the guy’s aping[模仿] your books, so you aren’t here ’cause you’re outraged[使愤慨]. So what is it, Rick?

Under normal circumstances, you should not be here. Most smart, good-looking women become lawyers, not cops. And yet, here you are. Why? 　　Kate: I don’t know, Rick. You’re the novelist. You tell me. 　　Richard: Well, you’re not bridge and tunnel. 　　No trace of the boroughs[区] when you talk, that means Manhattan, that means money. You went to college, probably a pretty good one. You had options. Yeah, you had lots of options ? better options, more socially acceptable options ? and you still chose this. That tells me something 　　happened. Not to you. No, you’re wounded, but you’re not that wounded. No, it was somebody you cared about. It was someone you loved. And you probably could’ve lived with that, but the person responsible was never caught. And that, Detective Beckett, is why you’re here. 　　Kate: …Cute trick. Don’t think you know me. 　　Richard: The point is, there’s always a story. You, you just have to find it. 　　 　　凯特:你为什么要来?你并不在乎受害者,所以你不是来伸张正义的。你不介意凶手模仿你的书作案,所以你也不是来兴师问罪的。那么到底是为了什么,里克?你是来惹我生气的吗? 　　理查德:我来这里是为了故事。 　　凯特:故事? 　　理查德:为什么偏偏是那几个人?为什么要犯下这样的凶
