You can t trust anyone who sleeps with the monsters.

That s what I ve always said. That s what I ve always believed. But now I m the one sharing a bed with the Master Vampire of the City.

I m Anita Blake, the woman the vampires call the Executioner. From part of the solution, I ve become part of the problem. So it hits close to home when an arsonist begins to target vampire-owned businesses all over town
an arsonist who seems to want to destroy more than just property.

It s the monsters who are in danger now. And it s up to the Executioner to save them from the inferno.
