Alternative cover edition of ISBN 9780060572969. Another edition can be found here All the creatures of the night gather in "the Hollows" of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party... and to feed.

A bounty hunter and witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she'll bring 'em back alive, dead... or undead.
