Screamer – A potent alcoholic beverage offered at the Blue Squirrel. Served in a long, slim glass, it was a frothy blue liquid and, according to Roarke, it was “poison” that stripped stomach lining.[1]
Other mentions:
- The last club Mavis Freestone visited on her way to Leonardo’s loft the night Pandora was murdered in Immortal in Death was Ground Zero, where she bought a Screamer and a table dancer. Based on her receipts, she visited five other clubs before ZigZag, ordering Screamers all the way, mostly triples.[2]
- When McNab asked Peabody out for a date in Witness in Death, he suggested going to the Nexus Club to catch some music;[3] it was located in the core of Broadway’s never-ending party district and they served screamers.[4]
- In Judgment in Death, Leonardo mixed up a batch of screamers for Mavis and Eve; those were emerald green and Mavis served them in “a glass the size of a birdbath.”[5]
- In Dark in Death, Screw U got busy and somebody knocked over a whole screamer all over the bar, then got in the bartender’s face about it, distracting Sasha Quint enough to make and serve the pomtini that Ann Elizabeth Smith added cyanide to and Loxie Flash drank, killing her.[6]
