The world created by Gary Braver in Rumor of Evil was definitely dark and dangerous. For the book discussion, I felt like a Dark and Stormy would be the perfect accompaniment. I've always considered a Dark and Stormy as the Caribbean version of a Moscow mule--they both are refreshing and lime-forward.

1/2 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
Ginger beer, to top (about 5 ounces)
