Hit List
A serial killer is hunting the Pacific Northwest, murdering victims in a gruesome and spectacular way. The local police suspect "monsters" are
involved, and have called in Anita Blake and Edward, US Marshals who
really know their monsters, to catch the killer.
But some
monsters are very real. The Harlequin have been the bogeymen of the
vampire world for more than a thousand years; they are a secret so dark
that even to speak their name can earn you a death sentence. Now they
are here in America, hunting weretigers, and human police.
The
Harlequin serve the Mother of All Darkness, the first vampire. She was
supposed to be dead, but only her body was destroyed. Now she needs a
new one, and she's decided that Anita Blake's is the body she wants.
Edward thinks the serial killings are a trap to lure Anita closer to the most dangerous vampire they've ever hunted. The vampires call Edward
"Death," and Anita the "Executioner," but Mommy Darkest is coming to
kill one, and possess the other, and she doesn't care how many others
have to die along the way.
