WOMAN WITH A GUN

Book ID/图书代码: 06840014B69717

English Summary/英文概要: The moment prosecutor Jack Booth lays eyes on the defense attorney for the Kilbride case, Kathy Moran, he is obsessed with her. Kathy is attractive, young and intelligent, and given her inexperience in death penalty cases, Jack knows he has the Kilbride case in the bag. So it’s quite a surprise when Kathy humiliates him in a sound defeat at court. But Jack’s anger fades when Kathy finds herself in way over her head at her law firm. He helps her escape trouble, and soon after, she quits law altogether, moves to the Oregon Coast to pursue a career as a photographer, and she and Jack lose touch.

Jack and Kathy reconnect four years later, when Jack is called in as special prosecutor on a murder case with a most unusual piece of evidence: a stunning photograph of a woman in a wedding dress holding a Western six shooter, taken by none other than Kathy Moran. Moments after she happened upon newlywed Megan Cahill and snapped the photo, Kathy discovered Megan’s husband, millionaire Raymond Cahill, dead in their home.

As Jack works on the case, he and Kathy find excuses to have dinner, and they discover they still have a spark. But when Jack’s investigation runs into dead ends, he and Kathy go their separate ways again. Kathy’s photograph, “Woman with a Gun” goes on to win her a Pulitzer Prize and launch her career. Jack becomes rich and successful as a highprofile prosecutor. The Cahill murder goes unsolved.

Ten years after Kathy’s Pulitzer win, the Museum of Modern Art is holding an exhibition showcasing “Woman with a Gun.” Struggling writer Stacey Kim is so taken with the photograph that she decides to write a novel based on the Cahill case. But when she travels to the Oregon Coast, she and Jack unravel a trail of clues that led them to a stunning discovery no one could have imagined.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 当起诉人杰克•布斯看到基尔布莱德案件的辩护律师凯西•莫兰时,他深深的迷上了她。凯西迷人、年轻同时散发着智慧的气息,更重要的是对于这类死刑案件,她可以说是毫无经验的,杰克清楚的知道自己已经稳稳赢得了基尔布莱德案的胜利。因此当凯西在庭上用重重一击羞辱了他时,着实令他下了一跳。然而杰克的怒气很快就平息了,因为凯西发现事务所里的工作实在是令她烦恼不已。他帮助她摆脱困境,但很快地,她还是彻底的放弃了法律事业,搬到了俄勒冈的一个海岸边去追求自己的摄影师生涯,她和杰克失去了联系。

四年后,杰克和凯西再次相遇,只不过这一次杰克接了一件特殊的谋杀起诉案件,这次的案件有着一个十分不同寻常的证物:一幅身穿婚纱的女子手握着一把西方六响枪的照片,而这幅照片正是由凯西•莫兰拍摄。就在凯西碰到新婚夫妇梅根•卡希尔并抓拍了这张照片后不久,凯西就发现了梅根的丈夫,百万富翁雷蒙德•卡希尔死在自己家中。

当杰克开始负责这一案件,他也有了理由和凯西共进晚餐,并发现两人间仍旧存在着某种火花。然而当杰克的案件调查进入了死胡同,他与凯西再次各自踏上了不同的道路。凯西的“拿着枪的女人”为她赢得了普利策奖,并为其事业的发展打下了基础。杰克作为一名姿态鲜明的专业起诉人,也变得越来越有钱和成功。而卡希尔谋杀案仍旧悬而未决。

凯西获得普利策奖的十年后,现代艺术博物馆对“拿着枪的女人”进行了展览。当时正在奋笔耕耘的作家斯塔西•吉姆十分的痴迷于这幅摄影作品,并决定基于卡希尔案件创作一部小说作品。然而当她前往俄勒冈海岸后,她与杰克揭开了一系列线索,并将他们引向一个谁也难以想象的惊天真相。(DC)
