Three dead teenagers were found near Branson and the police need her expertise to find out what happened. Anita is not a police woman but she is part of the team because she is one of the only experts in the field. While inspecting the burial site, Anita receives a page from the Regional Preternatural Investigation Team or Ripit which is a special division of the police who specialize in murder crimes involving supernatural beings like vampires or werewolves. She refuses but said she will still raise the dead. Stirling, one of the owners of the firm, asks Anita to lie for them if any of the zombies turn out to be Bouviers. The Bouvier family does not want to sell the land for some reason. If the remains turn out to be Bouvier ancestors, the company will have to either repurchase the land or return it to the Bouvier family. A family named Bouvier is claiming it is their ancestral burial ground which means the land is actually theirs but in order to prove it, Anita has to raise the dead and speak with them to ask who they are. There are no tombstones and the construction equipment made a mess of the bones. The firm had started construction on a hill but while digging, dug up skeletal remains and bodies. She is an animator who raises the dead for a living. I could really do without such detail but it takes a mighty skilled writer to write such graphic scenes.Īnita Blake and her apprentice, Larry, are hired by a rich firm and flown by helicopter to Branson, Missouri to raise the dead. It was written in such detail that I was squirming, trying not to gag and hoping the scene would end but I read through it just in case something important happened during the scene that was vital to the plot.
There was one scene where two vampires were having sex with someone and they began to rot and fall apart. Hamilton’s books in this series have been very descriptive when it comes to blood and gore but this one just seemed a little more barf-a-rific.
There were some really graphic and gross detailed scenes in this book.
