“Skin Trade” has been getting a buzz, recently being noted in USA Today as:
“Vampire fighter Anita Blake is back in the hunt; a multimedia mystery series for kids is out with another adventure; and readers will soon get an intimate look inside the psychiatric ER at Bellevue.”

This is the author’s 17th Anita Blake tale, the product description notes:

“When a vampire serial killer sends Anita Blake a grisly souvenir from Las Vegas, she has to warn Sin City’s local authorities what they’re dealing with. Only it’s worse than she thought.

Ten officers and one executioner have been slain—paranormal style. Anita heads to Vegas, where’s she’s joined by three other federal marshals, including the ruthless Edward. It’s a good thing he always has her back, because when she gets close to the bodies, Anita senses “tiger” too strongly to ignore it.

The weretigers are very powerful in Las Vegas, which means the odds of her rubbing someone important the wrong way just got a lot higher.”
