All Together Dead: Charlaine Harris

Sookie would really like to take a while to get over being betrayed by Bill, her long-time vampire lover and get used to her new relationship with the sexy shapeshifter Quinn - but instead, she finds herself attending the long-planned vampire summit, the destination of choice for every undead power player around, as a sort-of human `Geiger counter` for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of Louisiana.

But the job is fraught with difficulties. Sophie-Anne`s power base has been severely weakened by Hurricane Katrina and she`s about to be put on trial during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she`s hardly prepared for other shocking murders: it looks like there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature started. With secret alliances and backroom deals the order of the day - and night - Sookie must decide which side she`ll stand with and quickly, for her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.
