Anita is offered a zombie job raising some old zombies in order to settle a disputed land claim, but ends up embroiled in a suspected vampire killing, dealing with cops that resent her intrusion and don't give her necessary information. As a result, Anita ends up having to call in Jean-Claude to cut to the heart of the matter, while simultaneously dealing with fairy people that are determined not to let her raise the zombies her client demands.
While the last book focused on Richard more than Jean-Claude, this one has a lot of character development between Anita and Jean-Claude, after she realized in the last book that Richard really isn't much more human than Jean-Claude is. Developments in this book show her getting to know more about Jean-Claude on a personal level, as opposed to seeing him simply as someone to avoid wherever possible. The storyline is a little confusing, but all the characters are fluid and relatively believable, although there seems to be a bit of a trend forming with the mindsets that the enemies display, vis-a-vis arrogance, pettiness, and a fondness for causing pain and mental distress.
