Other than being telepathic, she`s always considered herself pretty normal - though she had a hard time at first, until she learned to filter out other people`s thoughts. She thought life was pretty dull, but then the vamps and the weres and the shifters came out of the closet, and she met a vampire called Bill and she couldn`t hear him at And Bill was her first love, even if he hadn`t been alive since the 1860s. But then Sookie found herself all caught up in vampire politics, and betrayal, and since then her life has been anything but normal. And life in Bon Temps has never been the same.

Now it`s the turn of the weres and shifters to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world. Sookie Stackhouse already knows about them, of course - her brother turns into a panther at the full moon, she`s friend to the local Were pack and Sam, her boss at Merlotte`s bar, is a shifter. At first the great Were revelation seems to go well - then the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found outside Merlotte`s. Though Sookie never cared that much for the victim, no one deserves such a horrible death, so she agrees to use her telepathic talent to track down the murderer. But what Sookie doesn`t realise is that there is a far greater danger than this killer threatening Bon Temps: a race of unhuman...
