内容简介

America is obsessed with crime-solving. "Cold Case", "CSI", and "Law & Order" have achieved their current popularity because they all respond to the same national craving for crime, and do so with great skill and creativity. "Round Up the Usual Suspects" provides a comparison of the crime fighting models of each of these TV series. Each has its own special crime-fighting niche. These separate approaches are each firmly grounded in different components of human nature - analytical reasoning, for instance, in CSI, memory in Cold Case, and teamwork in Law & Order. Ruble aims to increase our appreciation for the ingenious manner in which fictional cases are broken and convictions secured, and also illuminates the deeper human elements under a more implicit spotlight in these runaway hits.
