Affliction - (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter) by Laurell K Hamilton (Paperback)

About the Book

Some zombies are raised. Others must be put down. Just ask Anita Blake. Before now, she would have considered them merely off-putting, never dangerous. Before now, she had never heard of any of them causing human beings to perish in agony. But that's all changed.

Book Synopsis

In a world where zombies roam freely, Anita Blake, a renowned expert, finds herself facing a terrifying new threat.

Anita Blake makes her living off of zombies--but these aren't the kind she knows so well. These creatures hunt in daylight, and are as fast and strong as vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them.

Micah's estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about "zombie disease."

What could this mysterious disease be? Where will it stop? Even Anita Blake doesn't know.
