...
Sookie's beginning to get used to being surrounded by all varieties of undead, changeling, shapeshifting & other supernatural beings
- but even she has her limits. She'd really like to take a while to get over being betrayed by Bill, her long-time vampire lover, & get used to her new relationship with the sexy shapeshifter Quinn
- but instead, she finds herself attending the long-planned vampire summit, the destination of choice for every undead power player around, as a sort-of human ' Geiger counter' for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of Louisiana. But the job is fraught with difficulties. Sophie-Anne's power base has been severely weakened by Hurricane Katrina, & she's about to be put on trial during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders: it looks like there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature started. With secret alliances & backroom deals the order of the day
- & night
- Sookie must decide which side she'll stand with, & quickly, for her choice may mean the difference between survival & all-out catastrophe, 19.7 x 12.9 x 2.3, pages 323.
