Phone calls at half past dawn are never a good omen for Anita Blake--and this one proves no exception. Larry Kirkland, her Animator's Inc. coworker, has a pregnant wife in early labor and needs Anita to cover for him on an assignment. The deceased is a federal witness who died in FBI protective custody before he could testify; a judge has ruled the witness can be raised as a zombie, and his testimony taken posthumously.

   For anyone else, this would be a piece of cake. But Anita is afraid to fly--and the graveyard is in Philadelphia. And then there's the nasty little problem of being apart from her lovers for so long, forcing her to feed her ardeur--the lust-hunger that still drives her--with some hapless stranger.

   Fortunately, her changeling--lover Micah is happy to come to her aid, offering support on the plane--and in the bedroom--as she copes with the nitty-gritty of this assignment. However, what starts off as a routine task in that Philly graveyard becomes anything but as Anita faces down old grudges and even older adversaries, one of whom has developed powers similar to Anita's and is not above either sabotage or subterfuge. Things turn rapidly from bad to worse when she is forced to confront the unsettling, unholy passions Micah stirs in her--even on the job--while she brings forth the most treacherous and terrifying zombie of her career.
