The rain kept Julie awake. It always did. It drummed against the window in a persistent patter as rhythmically as Rob’s breathing next to her. Neither lulled her. They only served to disturb the thing under the bed.

“I had a nightmare," I tell her.
"I read that bad dreams can be caused by eating before bed."
"Good to know," I say, although I'm pretty sure my dreams of Vivian were caused by her diary and not what little I ate last night.”

“Anna wondered what it was that was so alienating about cars. Somehow, more than any othter machine, they seemed to create a world of their own, a mobile pack-rat midden full of personal artifacts that utterly separated man from the natural environment he hurtled through.”

“I found Shaw's place easy enough, but had to drive past the address and park around the corner to avoid the residential parking signs and all the dib holders -- old office chairs, busted baby strollers, orange traffic cones -- sitting in shoveled-out spots, waiting for their shovelers' return. The practice of saving your spot on a city street was technically illegal, but so were a lot of things the city let slide until somebody made a big stink about it and ruined it for everybody else.”

“Ann broke in. "I'm sorry, June. This is Kinsey Milhone. She's a private detective Pop hired to help us out."
"Private detective?" she said, with disbelief. "I didn't think there was a such a thing, except on television shows."
"Nice to meet you," I said. "I'm afraid the work we do isn't quite that thrilling."
"Well I hope not. All those gun battles and car chases? It's enough to make my blood run cold! It doesn't seem like a fit occupation for a nice girl."
"I'm not that nice," I said modestly.
She laughed, mistaking this for a joke.”
