Obsidian Butterfly by Laurell K. Hamilton. 2000. Hardcover. Anita Blake, the
tough, sexy vampire executioner, zombie animator, and police consultant for
preternatural crimes in St. Louis, hunts monsters in New Mexico in the ninth
book of Laurell K. Hamilton's excellent series. Edward, Anita's mentor in
slaying, asks Anita to return the favor that she has owed him since she killed
a backup he brought in to protect her. He needs Anita's preternatural expertise
as well as her firepower. Something is skinning and mutilating a few of its
chosen victims, and dismembering others. Edward has no idea what creature could
be responsible for such heinous crimes. A must for vampire fans! Book and dust
