The Harlequin: Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Volume 14

by LaurellK.Hamilton (Author)

Synopsis

The first warning is unexpected, calculated. Malcolm, head of the vampire Church of Eternal Life, is no friend to Anita Blake. So when he asks for help, against creatures so feared that no vampire will willingly speak their name, Anita is surprised. But the Harlequin require different rules. The second warning is presented like a gift, with 'Anita' printed on the box. Inside, carefully wrapped in folds of pristine tissue paper, is a plain white mask. The fact that it's white is good news. White means they are only being watched. The power connecting Anita with Jean-Claude, vampire Master of the City and Richard, Ulfric of the werewolves, has been increasing exponentially - and this has attracted very unwelcome attention. Anita Blake has the authority to pass judgment on vampires. The Harlequin have the authority to pass judgment on her. It is forbidden to speak of the Harlequin unless you've been contacted. And to be contacted by The Harlequin is to be under sentence of death.

Media Reviews
Hamilton's latest should prove more satisfying to longtime fans with its straightforward supernatural politics and steamy (but not extreme) sex Publishers Weekly Death and gore galore ... Hamilton writes with ease and vigour ... Great fun SHIVERS I was enthralled - a departure from the usual type of vampire tale which will have a wide appeal to any reader hunting for both chills and fun Andre Norton The fights are fast and furious, with guns roaring, claws rending and wisecracks by the dozen.
