Grave Surprise
When she was 15, Harper Connelly was struck by a bolt of lightening. She recovered, mostly… she has a strange spiderweb of red on parts of her body, and her right leg has episodes of weakness. Sometimes her right hand shakes. She has headaches. And she can find dead people.
That was the part that interested anthropology professor Dr Clive Nunley.
The professor invited Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver to Memphis to give a demonstration of Harper’s unique talent – and what better place to have that demonstration than in a very old cemetery?
Dr Nunley doesn’t bother to hide his skepticism, even when Harper stands atop a grave and senses not one but two bodies, a centuries-dead man, the owner of the grave, and a young girl, recently deceased.
The grave is opened and Harper is proved right: the dead girl is Tabitha Morgenstern, an eleven year old abducted from Nashville two years previously. That’s bad enough, but worse is to come, for Harper tried, and failed – to find the child when she first went missing. The coincidences are making the police very suspicious, so Harper and Tolliver undertake their own hunt to find the killer, starting with a nocturnal visit to the cemetery.
And the next morning a third dead body is found in the grave.
‘When it comes to serving up the supernatural, Harris is unmatched.’ Romantic Times

Grave Sight
Harper Connolly is honest, ethical and loyal - and ever since a bolt of lightning zapped her on the head, she’s had an extra-special talent: she can find dead people. It’s not a common-or-garden job, but as Harper sees it, she’s providing a service to the dead, while bringing some closure to the living. Some people find Harper’s talent useful and fascinating, but she’s getting used to most people treating her like a blood-sucking leech. She’s become an expert at getting in, getting paid and getting out, fast.
When Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver, her sometime manager, sometime bodyguard travel to the Ozarks to find a local teenager, missing, believed dead, they discover that someone is willing go to great lengths to bury a secret. When they find the girl’s body hidden in a wood, they plunge even deeper into small-town intrigue, deception, secrecy and murder.
Harper’s getting answers, and someone isn’t happy about that. Before long Tolliver’s locked away on trumped-up charges and Harper’s fighting for her own life ...

Dead as a Doornail
Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She’s a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit as complicated as ever, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy.
Problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life, but things just seem to happen to her and her friends.
Now her brother Jason’s about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She could deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local were population ... not just because Jason’s at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect he may be the shooter.
Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who’s behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first.
Sookie Stackhouse – ‘One of the most winning heroines to guide us through the dark side’ Book Page
‘One of the best of the breed, concocted out of just the right mixture of humour, intrigue, and excitement’ Booklist
‘The best yet’ Publishers Weekly Starred Review
'An author of rare talent' Publishers Weekly

Definitely Dead
The vampire queen of New Orleans has summoned Sookie - will her telepathic talents save her from otherwise certain death?
Sookie doesn't have that many relations, so she hated to lose one p- but of all the people to do, she didn’t expect it to be her cousin Hadley, a consort of New Orleans' vampire queen - after all, Hadley was technically already dead.
But she is gone, beyond recall, and she's left Sookie an inheritance - one that comes with a bit of a risk - not least because someone doesn't want Sookie digging too deep into Hadley's possessions… or her past.
Sookie's life is once again on the line, and this time the suspects range from the rogue weres who reject Sookie as a friend of the pack to her first love, the vampire Bill.
Sookie's got a lot to do if she's going to keep herself alive ...
‘Fans of Laurell K Hamilton’s Anita Blake should cotton on to Sookie Stackhouse’ Publishers Weekly

Club Dead
They know how to make a great cocktail in Club Dead - a twist of lemon, a dash of pepper and a shot of Blood Group 0.
There’s only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with (at least voluntarily) and that’s Bill. But recently he’s been kind of distant - like in another state distant. Bill’s sinister and sexy boss Eric has an idea where to find him, which is why Sookie ends up in Jackson, Mississippi, mingling with the underunderworld at Club Dead. It’s a dangerous little haunt where the elitist vamps can go chill and chow on some prime flesh. But when Sookie finally finds Bill - caught in an act of serious betrayal - she’s not sure whether to save him, or sharpen some stakes.
