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 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 her work cut out for her if she wants to stay alive...
