Sookie doesn't have that many relations, so she hated to lose one p- but of all the people to do, 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, beyond recall, 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 werres who reject Sookie as a friend of the pack to her first love, the vampire Bill.Sookie's got a lot to do if she's going to keep herself alive . . .
