Living Dead in Dallas

Series: Sookie Stackhouse (#2) Author: Charlaine Harris Publisher: Ace Year Published: 2002 ISBN: 978-1-8414-9300-8 Pages: 291 Sookie is on a streak of bad luck. First, she finds a body in the backseat of her car. Then she comes face-to-face with a beastly creature that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins--like they didn't enjoy it! Point is, they saved her life. So when one of them asks for a favor, she complies... and soon Sookie finds herself in Dallas, using her telepathic abilities to search for a missing vampire. There's just one condition: the vamps must behave, and let the humans involved go unharmed. Which is easier said than done....
