Not on the work front, where she has the highest kill count of all the legal vampire executioners in the country, but on the personal front.
No one seems to trust a woman who sleeps with the monsters.
Still, when a vampire serial killer sends her a head from Las Vegas, Anita has to warn Sin City's local authorities what they're dealing with.
Only it's worse than she thought.
Several officers and one executioner have been slain paranormal style...

White Line Fever: The Autobiography (MUSIC LEGENDS & IDOLS) by Lemmy Kilmister, Janiss Garza.
 
@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange * Cafe - Guesthouse * Pattaya....
 
Medically speaking, Lemmy should be dead.
 
After years of notorious excess, his blood would probably kill another human being.
This is the story of the heaviest drinking, most oversexed speed freak in the music business.
 
Ian Fraser Kilmister was born on Christmas Eve in 1945. Learning from an early age that chicks really do appreciate a guy with a guitar, and inspired by the music of Elvis and Buddy Holly, Lemmy quickly outgrew his local bands in Wales, choosing instead to head to Manchester to experience everything he could get his hands on.
And he never looked back.
Read Lemmy's story with Canterbury Tales Bookshop,,,

The battle and turmoil he faced there would make or break the club and - or him.

Attila the Hun by John Man.
 
Traded back @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe * Pattaya City.

A great classic in addition to Canterbury Tales Bookshop..
