There#65533;s a reckoning on the way . . .

. . . and Sookie has a knack for being in trouble's way; not least when she witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is known to be two-natured, suspicion immediately falls on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but before she can investigate something else #65533; something even more dangerous #65533; comes up.

Sookie#65533;s lover Eric Northman and his #65533;child#65533; Pam are plotting something in secret. Whatever it is, they seem determined to keep Sookie out of it; almost as determined as Sookie is to find out what#65533;s going on. She can#65533;t sit on the sidelines when both her work and her love life under threat #65533; but as she#65533;s gradually drawn into their plans Sookie finds the situation is deadlier than she could ever have imagined.
