戏剧与现实交错的杰作在雷格纳·希尔部推理小说《喜欢交际的女人》里，他创造的一对独特的侦探搭档也首度登场。一位是心宽体胖、好色贪怀、爱斗嘴耍活宝的刑事主任达尔齐尔，另一位则是教养优雅、学识丰富的警官帕斯科。 自从柯南·道尔创造了华生医生作为神探福尔摩斯的搭档之后，推理小说家就经常使用这种对比手法，用一位“次要而平凡”的角色来衬托神探的不凡。这些二号人物有时候是侦探的朋友，有时候是记者，有时候是助手或忠仆，但多半不脱烘托主角的功能。但雷格纳·希尔采取了另外一种途径：他让侦探的搭档有能力也有作用，甚至是重要的互补，没有对方彼此都不是完整的；他又让两人的文化特质与思考形态南辕北辙，比较与冲突的趣味因而源源不绝。仅此一项，就是希尔对推理小说的重大贡献。 希尔的小说结构复杂紧凑，在我们

A word from Louis L'Amour: " Almost forty years ago, when myfiction was being published exclusively in 'pulp' westernmagazines, I wrote several novel-length stories, which my editorscalled 'magazine novels'. In creating them, I became so involvedwith my characters that their lives were still as much a part of meas I was of them long after the issues in which they appearedbecame collector's items. Pleased as I was about how I brought thecharacters and their adventures to life in the pages of themagazines, I still wanted the reader to know more about my peopleand why they did what they did. So, over the years, I revised andexpanded these magazine works into fuller-length novels that Ipublished in paperback under other titles. " These particular earlymagazine versions of my books have long been a source of greatspeculation and curiosity among many of my readers, so much so oflate, that I'm now pleased to collect three of them into book formfor the first time. " I hope you enjoy them."
