This is the first book I've read from Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ms Blake is a necromancer; she's gifted at raising the dead, including the long dead and is hired by a very wealthy man to raise many of the dead from an old burial ground. Supposedly he wants to buy this hill and area for a business venture. The owners won't sell to him because they believe at least one of their ancestors is buried there. Anita needs to raise the dead in order to find the truth for both buyer and unwilling seller. Buy why this particular hill and not one of the many others surrounding it? This sparks Anita's suspicions but before she can investigate further she is sidetrack to a murder investigation. A sheriff she knows has put a request in for her. When she learns from him that 3 teenagers were viciously murdered, their bodies left desecrated, Anita knows she's one of the very few people who can potentially solve this mystery. With her assistant and sexy boyfriend, Anita is off on a dangerous adventure to find out the identity of the killer. Not an easy book to put down!
