Synopsis
Micah is a novella in Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, set roughly a month after the events of the previous full-length novel. Anita travels to Philadelphia to substitute for a colleague on a federal assignment, tasked with raising a deceased witness from the dead so that his testimony can still be used in an organized-crime investigation, a job that proves considerably more complicated than the routine animation work she expected. While managing the demands of the case, she also navigates her deepening relationship with her partner Micah, who opens up to her about difficult experiences from his past during their time together in the city. Throughout the trip, Anita continues to grapple with her escalating supernatural powers, including necromantic abilities so strong they threaten to raise far more than the one intended corpse if she is not careful.
