Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, psychic Sookie
Stackhouse learns that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human in
this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series**--the
inspiration for the HBO(R) original series True Blood.******
With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie witnesses the
firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte
is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the
anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but her attention
is divided when she realizes that her lover, Eric Northman, and his
"child" Pam are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master.
Gradually, Sookie is drawn into the plot--which is much more complicated
than she knows...
