Harold Gaynor offers Anita Blake a million dollars to raise a 300-year-old zombie. Knowing it means a human sacrifice will be necessary, Anita turns him down. But when dead bodies start turning up, she realizes that someone else has raised Harold's zombie--and that the zombie is a killer. Anita pits her power against the zombie and the voodoo priestess who controls it.

I've read many of Hamilton's books but started with her Merry Gentry series.

In my opinion this series; Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter is more like a feminine gum-shoe mystery series with a super natural twist.

While these books are interesting I prefer the Merry Gentry 'realm' and plot.
