Translation: Le Mystère du kinétoscope

Blurb: Un, deux, trois... souriez, votre meurtre est filmé.
L'été vient d'arriver sur New York et Sebastian Snow va franchir une nouvelle étape dans sa vie de couple avec Calvin Winter : l'antiquaire et l'inspecteur emménagent ensemble. Cette semaine, qui aurait dû être centrée sur la célébration de cet engagement ainsi que l'anniversaire de Calvin, se voit dérailler lorsqu'un mystérieux colis ...
A Day in... Pt. 2
