As an animator with the power to raise the dead, trouble has a way of finding her. But even the tough-as-nails Anita gets in over her head on her latest case, when mob-connected businessman Harold Gaynor makes her an offer she can't refuse: one million dollars to raise a three-centuries-old corpse!

And if getting caught in the web of a deep-pocketed criminal wasn't enough, the hunt for a missing boy leads Anita to a new adversary: the ruthless voodoo priestess Dominga Salvador. Anita needs Dominga's help to find the missing child, but Dominga may be asking for more than Anita's willing to give.

Anita's investigation points to a superhumanly powerful undead killer. But who exactly is strong enough to raise such a fiend? And can Anita find out before she becomes the next victim?
