    Summary

    “Your father should have returned those tapes to the sheriff fifteen years ago. It’s police property,” Hodgson says.
    “Didn’t realize you’d taken a job at the Rock County PD, Detective Hodgson. I thought you were employed here in Portland.” Katie stares at him with blank coldness. “It’s a few miles out of your jurisdiction to be working on Rock County cases.”
    She’s good at her job, Hodgson will give her that. “Why does your old man want the box back? He had plenty of time to publish that book if he wanted to, and meaning no disrespect, he didn’t look to be in book-writing shape when I saw him earlier.”
    Katie’s lip twitches. “He’s in love with the house.”

    True crime author Daniel Molloy's 1998 book on the Somerton Martyrs case was never released, but he stayed in Somerton for decades, living at the site of the crime. Why would anyone want to stay in that haunted house?

    Summary

    “Babe, check this out,” he says as they’re knocking over a Cartier store in the middle of the night. (Armand had a hankering for some jewellery while out on the town, and Daniel is a gentleman, so he picked up a crowbar and obliged.)

    Armand saunters over from where he’s been trying on pearls and peers at the engagement rings display case Daniel is beckoning him towards.

    “Are we taking any of these?” Daniel asks — nice and smooth, nice and casual.

    Armand graces the selection with a fleeting glance, then turns his nose up.

    “Too gaudy,” he pronounces dismissively. “I cannot abide the current mania of studding everything with as many tiny gems as possible. Not to mention, these would be most unpleasant to the touch.”

    The tape recorder lodged permanently in Daniel’s freshly renovated brain is whirring away, capturing every single word.

     

    Or: Armand rekindles his love of jewellery; Daniel gets ideas.

    Summary

    Armand and Daniel attend Daniel's youngest daughter's wedding. Daniel has unsettled business with one of his in–laws. Things get out of control.

    Technically a crossover with Uncut Gems (2019) wherein Bogosian's character in that film and Daniel are the same person. But it will probably make sense even if you haven't seen the film.

    Summary

    As expected Alice (my wife) was waiting for me in the living room. Instead of looking mad as usual though, she was smiling. And she was not alone!
    On teh couch sat the vampire Lestat!

    “What the merde is this?” asked the vampire in his melodic voice, which had been singing so many super rock music hits.
    What was going on? Was I dreaming? Or was it all the drugs I had just snorted?

    The unknown, elegant man with him interrupted my thoughts.
    “This”, he said, “Is your newest acquisition, Lestat.”
