Dead and Gone - Charlaine Harris
When the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found, Sookie agrees to use her telepathic talent to track down the murderer. What she doesn’t realise is that there’s a far greater danger threatening Bon Temps - a race of unhuman beings, older, more powerful and far more secretive than the vampires or the werewolves, is preparing for war… Dead and Gone is the latest book in the bestselling True Blood series.
