Andrew Cunanan is intermittently seen reading English author Caroline Seebohm's 1982 book "The Man Who Was Vogue: The Life and Times of Condé Nast."
The driving narrative force behind the second series was the way that homophobia hugely assisted Andrew Cunanan in carrying off his murderous rampage, right up to his murder of Gianni Versace. The material where police scoffed at the idea of a gay man being a serial killer, insulted and ignored a gay witness who had crucial information, and didn't catch Cunanan in Chicago due to them not caring about his victim there are all true to life, sadly.
