Dead in the family

Sookie Stackhouse is still recovering from the torture she suffered at the hands of fae, and the people closest to her are in trouble of their own. Her romance with vampire Eric Northman is going well, but his maker, the Roman Appius Livius Ocella, arrives without warning with Alexei Romanov, a young vampire left unstable by the Russian Revolution.

Bill Compton is dying of silver poisoning, and his only cure may be the blood of a vampire relative he has spent years avoiding. Meanwhile Sookie's fairy cousin Claude moves in, her uncle Dermot wanders her land under a spell, werewolf politics in Shreveport turn dangerous, and a body turns up that the pack wants explained.

The tenth Southern Vampire Mysteries novel, and the book that gathers up the threads left by Dead and Gone.
