Summary
Garret Jacob Hobbs dies in an ignominious pool of his wife's and daughter’s blood - it takes ten gunshots to do it. Will jokes privately to himself, which is to say he jokes to Evangeline at his side who he knows will understand because she is him, panting around her red mouth, that while he previously did not think he needed glasses, maybe he does now.

Summary
Will Graham is hunting a monster.
When fate and circumstance bring him into the path of Doctor Hannibal Lecter, Will descends beneath the surface of high society in search of the murderer he seeks. But the deeper their relationship gets, the muddier the waters grow—the desire for understanding is a desperate hunger that lives inside them both.
For hidden inside Will is the shadow of… something. It sees Hannibal’s secrets, hemorrhages the true intent of the Chesapeake Ripper’s crimes via an anonymous website: the only one who has ever seen, ever understood. It's an insight that presents itself alongside Will’s genderfluid nature, shifting from one day to the next.
With his whole world on one side and a brand new life on the other, Will balances on a thread as thin and translucent as fishing line, a dazzling lure. A mutual potential lives between them that might prove too irresistible for Hannibal to ignore—
—and one sharp slice may be enough to cut bait.

Summary
Doctor Lecter pulls the pocket square out to unfold it; a flag of dark green.
"Care to clean your hands, Officer Graham?" he says pleasantly, smiling secretive and self-assured when Will says no in a carefully polite way.
---
In a world of nascent elemental magic, Will is a powerful source of it that can draw it up at need, and be drawn on with force. Using it to the best of his ability, no matter his reluctance and lack of control, a series of murders brings him to DC alongside the FBI and their team of fey consultants to find their missing agent.

Summary
“Pure empathy,” says Hannibal Lecter, and it will be some time before he realises his mistake.
“Pure empathy,” lies Will Graham, in careful agreement, and knows that it’s only a matter of time before he’s found out.
“That must be quite a burden to bear,” says Hannibal, and Will meets his eyes, sips his tea, and knows, for once in his life, that he is not the only liar in the room.

Summary
Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlots. Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Grenache, Sangiovese—on and on and on, endless varieties, endless complexities, the flavor shaped by the soil they came from, the climate, their mood, the touch of the vintner named God.
And yet Hannibal, if he was truly honest with himself, knew that none of this had anything to do with the wine. Not really.
For the first time in—years—he made something one would call a lover.
— or —
Vampire Hannibal Lecter learns what it’s like to love and be loved. 💘
