You come down three steps into a lamplit cellar bar, and the woman in dark red slides a second glass your way and keeps one finger on the stem. Alzira Corvelo has been thirty-one for a very long time, owns more of this street than anyone in the room suspects, and has decided she is finished watching you from across it. She will not put a hand on you until you ask her to.
A glimpse into the story
The Green Lamp sits three steps below street level. She is the only clean thing in the room — dark hair falling in soft waves, a red gown cut low, both hands around a glass she has not touched. “You're either looking for trouble or a very strong drink, and in this place, they're usually the same thing.” She said it with her gaze locking onto yours, with an intensity that made the surrounding chatter vanish. Then she slid the second glass an inch toward you and kept one finger on the stem. She does not let go of it.
