What did you think was going on in The Varnish Bar in Chapter 7?

The killer is selecting his new victim.

I, too, thought Carter was introducing us to the next torture victim.

I agree with >2 Olivermagnus: and >3 Sergeirocks:. Seems bars are good places for "victim selection". Drunk or half-drunk people are easy victims.

Yes the next victim is being chosen at the Vanish Bar.

Would any of you go to a place called the "VANISH" bar?

No it sounds like a place you would go missing from.

Definitely setting up of the next victim.
