Overview

The brand-new TRUE BLOOD novel, starring the irrepressible Sookie Stackhouse!

There''s a reckoning on the way ...

... and Sookie has a knack for being in trouble''s way; not least when she witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte''s, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is known to be two-natured, suspicion immediately falls on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but before she can investigate something else - something even more dangerous - comes up.

Sookie''s lover Eric Northman and his ''child'' Pam are plotting something in secret. Whatever it is, they seem determined to keep Sookie out of it; almost as determined as Sookie is to find out what''s going on. She can''t sit on the sidelines when both her work and her love life under threat - but as she''s gradually drawn into their plans Sookie finds the situation is deadlier than she could ever have imagined.
