When a fellow U.S. Marshal asks Anita Blake to fly to a tiny community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on an emergency consult, she knows time is running short. When she arrives, there is plenty of proof that a young wereleopard killed his uncle in the most gruesome and bloody way possible. As the mounting evidence points to him, a warrant of execution is already under way.
But something seems off about the murder, and Anita has been asked for her expert opinion on the crime scene. Despite escalating pressure from local cops and the family’s cries for justice for their dead patriarch, Anita quickly realizes that the evidence doesn’t quite add up.
Time is against Anita, as the tight-knit community is up in arms and its fear of supernaturals is growing. She races to uncover the truth and determine whether the Marshals have caught the killer or are about to execute an innocent man—all in the name of justice.

When U.S. Marshal Winston Newman asks Anita Blake to come to a tiny town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, she arrives to find Bobby Marchand, a wereleopard, waiting in the local jail, with a warrant of execution on the way. All of the evidence points toward Bobby killing his uncle, and Bobby doesn't deny committing the murder--even if he cannot remember doing it. Yet Newman still thinks something is wrong, and with Anita's expertise the facts start to reveal a shaky foundation. With little time and heightened fear of supernaturals spilling through the community, Anita will need to catch the real killer before brutal justice is served on a possibly innocent man. To do this, she will have to call on some of her fellow Marshals for assistance, including her worst nightmare and nemesis, Olaf. VERDICT Blake's 27th outing (after Serpentine) is a crafty murder mystery wrapped in plenty of fur and fury. Fans of the series will be pleased to see Anita Blake's return.
