You never forget your ex-fiance. And when the call came at three in the morning. I thought for a moment it was him. It was his brother. And it wqsn't good news. Apparently the former love of my life had got himself thrown into jail for assulting a woman. Snce I make my living as a preternatual expert, I tend to believe almost anything is possible. But though he may be one of the monsters, Richard would never harm a woman. So it's Anita Blake to the rescue. I've got a few days to spring Richard and find out who framed him and why. There's a full moon coming, and if my werewolf love is still behind bars when it rises, he'll be facing a lot worse than an assult charge... --- back cover.
