Phone calls at half past dawn are never a good omen for Anita Blake--and this one proves no exception. Larry Kirkland, her Animator's Inc. coworker, has a pregnant wife in early labor and needs Anita to cover for him on an assignment.The deceased is a federal witness who died in FBI protective custody before he could testify; a judge has ruled the witness can be raised as a zombie, and his testimony taken posthumously.

For anyone else, this would be a piece of cake. But Anita is afraid to fly--and the graveyard is in Philadelphia. And then there's the nasty little problem of being apart from her lovers for so long, forcing her to feed her ardeur--the lusthunger that still drives her--with some hapless stranger.
