Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Laughing Corpse Executioner #1

Book's description: The morally absent - and mob connected - businessman Harold Gaynor offered vampire hunter and animator Anita Blake one million dollars to raise a three-centuries old corpse. She turned him down, but a visit from Harold's bodyguard made it clear he won't take no for an answer. Anita found another enemy in Dominga Salvador, a voodoo priestess who wanted more than Anita was willing to give in exchange for helping her find a missing boy. Dominga promised that something would come to hurt Anita when she least expects it. The boy's corpse was discovered, mutilated by what Anita believes to be a superhumanly strong zombie. Anita swore to find the undead killer and the mysterious animator powerful enough to raise it.
