Sookie Stackhouse has always found it difficult to date - she's cute, but not many guys are comfortable with her mind-reading abilities. But vampires have never had any issue with Sookie's talent, not least because she can't pick up very much of anything from the undead.
There's only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with - at least voluntarily - and that's Bill. But recently he's been a little distant. In another state distant.
His sinister and sexy boss Eric has an idea where to find him. So the next thing Sookie knows she's off to Jackson, Mississippi, to mingle with the beautiful, dangerous underworld at Club Dead. It's a dangerous little haunt where the elusive vampire society can go to chill out and suck down some Type O - but when Sookie finally finds Bill caught in an act of serious betrayal she's not sure whether she should save him, or start sharpening some stakes.
