Plot[]
An author is murdered after his book reading about the horrors of being a child prostitute. It's revealed that he is not the author, but an actor who was hired to impersonate the real author. Then it seems unclear who the real author is; a single person, a compilation of stories about several child prostitutes, or just "poetic license". To the dismay of prosecutors, this expands the list of suspects who may have had a motive to kill the actor/impersonator.

[Her voice changes back to being professional] Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for my meeting. [Cutter is stunned and speechless.]
