Book 2 of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series.
Anita hunts vampires and raises zombies for a living in a city where vampires are legally 'alive' and can only be killed with a warrant. She's the resident police expert on the supernatural, but it all starts going south when vampires are being murdered, and she gets threatened into helping discover the killer by the city's Master vampire, Nikolaos.
I've read one of the later books in this series, and this was a pleasant surprise - better written and with much less emphasis on sex than the one I stumbled on (these are probably not a good series to start if you mind graphic descriptions). I got a good impression of the main characters, and the romantic content is limited to veiled hints. The storyline flowed well, and the vampires were 'proper' vampires, in the sense that they burn in sunlight, sleep in coffins, have moderate powers of mind control, and look dead unless they're powerful enough to hide it. Since this is the depiction of vampires I favour, I enjoyed reading this book.
