One cup of coffee, one glove still on, and a window behind her that reflects nothing but two rows of ceiling lights.

A murdered woman on a divan, a calm man listening to a gramophone, and two men with a club and a net waiting outside the door.

The odalisque rebuilt in the machine age, all gleaming curves against deep red, sensual and cold at exactly the same time.
