Blurb on back of book:

The novels of NYTimes bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton take readers into the dangerous life of Anita Blake, animator and vampire hunter - a woman as good at raising the dead as she is at slaying the unead. Now, a creature from beyond the grave is tearing a swath of murder through St. Louis. And Anita will learn that there are some secrets better left buried - and some people better off dead ...

"THEY WERE TREATING ME LIKE I WAS A VER DANGEROUS PERSON.
At five-three I am not imposing. Raise the dead, kill a few vampires, and people start considering you one of the monsters. Sometimes it hurt. But now ... it had possibilities. 'Do you really think I came in here unarmed?' I asked. My voice sounded very matter-of-fact ... 'Want to bet your life on it?' "
