"After a killer day at the office, nothing smoothed those raw edges like happy hour.  On the Rocks on Manhattan's Lower West Side catered to white-collar working stiffs who wanted half-price drinks and some cheesy rice balls while they bitched about their bosses or hit on a coworker.  Or the execs who wanted a couple of quick belts close to the office before their commute to the 'burbs.  From four-thirty to six, the long bar, the high-tops and low-tops bulged with lower-rung execs, admins, assistants and secretaries who flooded out of the cubes, pools and tiny offices.  Some washed up like shipwreck survivors.  Other waded ashore ready to bask in the buzz. A few wanted nothing more than to huddle alone on their small square of claimed territory and drink the day away."

Delusion in Death by J.D. Robb

It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks...until something went terribly wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay dead.



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of  Should Be Reading.
