Телепатка Сьюки. Частный детектив, расследующий преступления в общинах "порождений Тьмы" - вампиров, оборотней, черных магов и прочей нечисти, осевшей в "готском раю" - Французском квартале Нового Орлеана. Говорят, за полосой неудач всегда наступает время везения, - но отчего тогда проблемы несчастной телепатки только множатся? Вампир Виктор по-прежнему плетет интриги, затягивая в сеть супруга Сьюки Эрика, да и саму Сьюки тоже. Вокруг дома, с неясными, но явно гнусными намерениями бродит таинственный фэйри, а тут еще нагрянули в гости родственнички - "творец" Эрика и надменный римлянин Аппий Ливий Окелла со своим последним…

Felipe de Castro, the vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It’s the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric Northman’s front yard—especially the body of a woman whose blood he just drank. Now it’s up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl’s fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who’s set out to make Sookie’s world come crashing down.

The life-changes that began for Sookie Stackhouse when the vampire Bill Compton came into Merlotte's, the bar where she works, ordered a bottle of True Blood--and stole her heart--come to a conclusion when she is accused of a shocking murder. Push has come to shove, and Sookie will finally find out who is a true friend and who is not, as she attempts to discover the real killer before she becomes the final victim...

And there's new resident--and psychic--Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private, and perhaps stay hidden. Stop at the one street light and everything looks normal. But stay awhile, and learn the truth...
