Anita’s life is more complicated than ever, as she is caught between her obligations to the living and the undead. A vampire serial killer who preys on strippers is on the loose. Called in to consult on the case, Anita fears her judgment may be clouded by a conflict of interest. For she is, after all, the consort of Jean-Claude, the ever-intoxicating Master Vampire of the City. Surrounded by suspicion, overwhelmed by her attempts to control the primal lusts that continue to wrack her, Anita does something unprecedented: she calls for help.

Anita is pushed to her limits-both professionally and passionately-when she is called in on what appears to be a case involving a vampire serial killer preying on strippers.

A vampire serial killer is murdering strippers. Anita is sure that none of Jean-Claude's vampires are involved, but with the unexplainable cases in her past and with her ties to the metaphysical community becoming stronger, her status with the local law enforcement is not as strong as it used to be. Her word is no longer enough.

Anita must solve the case with the help of her friends and contacts in the vampire and lycanthrope communities. With false clues and a master vampire pulling the strings, Anita needs all the help she can get - legal or otherwise.
