Sookie's life is on the line, and the suspects range from rogue weres to her first love, the vampire Bill Sookie doesn't have that many relations, so she hated to lose one — but of all the people to go, she didn't expect it to be her cousin Hadley, a consort of New Orleans' vampire queen — after all, Hadley was technically already dead. But she is gone, beyond recall, and she's left Sookie an inheritance — one that comes with a bit of a risk — not least because someone doesn't want Sookie digging too deep into Hadley's past — or her possessions. Sookie's life is once again on the line, and this time the suspects range from the rogue werewolves who have rejected Sookie as a friend of the pack to her first love, the vampire Bill. Sookie's got a lot to do if she's going to keep herself alive... The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night.
