People don’t like dealing with people who raise the dead. Don t ask me why, but we make them nervous.
There is something about Leo Harlan that I don’t like. He s asked me to reanimate his long-dead ancestor, and it seems like a perfectly ordinary case for someone like me: Anita Blake, preternatural expert, vampire hunter and raiser of the dead. So I agree sometimes you deal with the devil not because you want to, but because if you don t, someone else will. But what he hasn t told me is that the corpse may hold the secret to an ancient crime that not everyone wants to be remembered.
