In the heart-pounding conclusion of The Laughing Corpse Book 1: Animator, Anita came face-to-face with the most superhumanly strong zombie ever let off its leash, a one-creature-killing crusade that viciously slaughtered entire families--and was about to add Anita to its body count!
Now, after that zombie attack left her physically and emotionally shaken. Anita has some business to take care of. And that means three items to check off the list:
Anita knew she should have never tangled with Dominga Salvador. The voodoo priestess and animator isn't exactly someone you fool around with--even if you're an experienced vampire hunter like Anita Blake. She may look like a sweet old granny, but Anita now knows that Salvador is as vindictive as they come, having sent out a zombie force to take her out--with maximum violence!
The mobbed-up and morally degenerate Harold Gaynor offered Anita a cool million to raise a little hell. In the sweltering heat of the summer, that kind of money can go a long way. But Anita can't be bought--though her interest in doing the right thing is exactly the kind of habit that could get her killed. Can the necromancer discover what Harold wants with her services before his goons fit her with a pair of cement block shoes?
All the while, she's been keeping Jean-Claude waiting... and the newly minted master vampire of St. Louis does not like to be kept waiting! Is the painfully beautiful--and almost certainly sadistic--vampire someone else wants to sink her teeth into?
In a city where both the undead and the living are coming apart at the seams and aiming their wrath at the one person who can restore order, any tick of the clock might be Anita's last!
