Telepath Sookie. A private detective who investigates crimes in the communities of the “spawn of Darkness” - werewolves, vampires, black magicians, voodoo priests and other exotic evil spirits settled in the “Gothic paradise” - the French Quarter of New Orleans. But this time Sookie have to unravel the mystery of the death of his own cousin Hedley...Who dared to kill the all-powerful favorite of the vampire queen of New Orleans herself? Well-known enemies of the “aristocrats of the night” are werewolves? Another enraged vampire hunter? The jealous husband of the queen? Or someone else? The further the investigation - the more strange and dangerous events are happening around her. Werewolves are making attempts on her life again and again. At the very door of her house, someone is killing a demon. The only question is - how does this relate to the case of the murder of cousin Hadley? Perhaps Sookie is simply making it clear that that the investigation should be stopped before it’s too late?
