Move over James Patterson — someone's got a copycat! NYPD detectives summon mystery writer Richard Castle to help them investigate a series of killings that appear eerily similar to murders in his best-selling suspense thrillers. Almost immediately after Castle's arrival at the precinct, Detective Kate Beckett wants to send his wise-ass back home.
