We are often told that “blood donations” are used to save lives, but blood plasma, a component of whole blood, has become a precious commercial good. Kathleen McLaughlin’s Blood Money reveals the underhanded machinations and unbalanced power structures of the blood industry. Taking us from China’s blood black market to Silicon Valley’s shadowy tech startups, this is an inside look at an industry many of us had no idea even existed. Blood Money is an electrifying exposé that demonstrates the shadowy overlap between big medicine and big business.

Sookie Stackhouse er 25 år og servitrice i en af sydstaterne. Der er en ting, som adskiller hende fra de andre unge i byen - hun kan læse menneskers tanker. Og kun de levende menneskers tanker. Da en "ung" vampyr en dag kommer ind og bestiller et glas blod, er det en stor lettelse for hende, at der endelig er et menneske, hvis tanker hun ikke kan høre. Hun bliver forelsket i vampyren Bill.

Sookie har et problem. Hendes vampyrkæreste, Bill, har været fraværende og uopmærksom på det seneste. Pludselig meddeler han, at han skal på forretningsrejse, men der ligger tydeligvis mere bag. Da en varulv forsøger at kidnappe Sookie, fortæller Bills leder, Eric, at Bill er blevet kidnappet. Han beder Sookie om hjælp til at finde Bill, og naturligvis træder hun til med det samme. Men da Sookie finder ud af, hvorfor Bill er blevet kidnappet.

Det overnaturlige samfund i Bon Temps, Louisiana, er så småt ved at komme sig oven på to katastrofer: Først orkanen Katrinas hærgen og så en voldsom eksplosion på det hotel, hvor et stort vampyrtopmøde blev afholdt. Sookie Stackhouse overlevede med nød og næppe og er tilbage på vampyrbaren Merlotte's, hvor hun langer årgangsblod over disken. Men alt er ikke, som det plejer, for flere vampyrer blev dræbt eller såret i attentatet, og hendes hamskifterkæreste Quinn er blandt de savnede.

Sookie har vænnet sig til at være omgivet af forskellige typer af udøde, changeling, shapeshifting og andre overnaturlige væsener, men selv hun har sine begrænsninger. Selv om hun har brug for at komme sig oven på hendes store vampyrkærlighed, Bill, som forrådte hende, og vænne sig til hendes nye kæreste, den sexede shapeshifter Quinn, deltager hun i en længe planlagt vampyrtopmøde.

Sookie Stackhouse er vokset op med telepatiske evner og har fra en tidlig alder lært, at der er ting, hun ville ønske, hun ikke vidste. Men der er også ting, hun ville ønske, hun ikke havde set - for eksempel Eric Northman drikke fra en ung kvindes hals. Da Felipe de Castro, Louisianas vampyrkonge, er i byen, holder Sookie tæt om det, hun har set. Men det er højst uheldig, at der under hans besøg dukker et lig af en ung kvinde op i Erics forhave.

Byen Bon Temps i Louisiana står til at blive rystet af chokerende nyt fra den overnaturlige verden: Lige som vampyrerne gjorde det før dem, er varskabningerne - mennesker med evnen til at transformere sig om til dyr - nu klar til at afsløre dem selv for resten af verden. Sookie Stackhouse, der er bartender og kan høre de levende menneskers tanker, er bekymret over afsløringen, og det har hun god grund til, når man tænker på, hvordan indbyggerne i den lille by foragter alle med overnaturlige evner, inklusiv Sookie.

Nytårsnat kører Sookie hjem fra arbejde og ser en nøgen mand løbe langs vejen i mørket og kulden. Det viser sig, at den stakkels mand ikke har det fjerneste begreb om, hvem han er. Men det har Sookie til gengæld. Den nøgne mand er vampyren Eric Northman. Og han er langt fra sit gamle jeg. Eric er venlig, blid - og meget bange; den som fjernede hans hukommelse, er nu ude efter hans liv.

Den korte, men voldsomme Fekrig har krævet mange ofre, og Sookie Stackhouse har blandt andet mistet sin fe-kusine Claudine. Midt i elendigheden er Sookies eneste lyspunkt kærligheden til vampyren Eric Northmann. Men den nye vampyrkonge er mistænksom og holder ekstra øje med parret. På den politiske scene bliver hamskifternes bemyndigelse truet, og stemningen blandt varulvefolket bliver mere og mere hadsk.

Sokkie har ikke mange familiemedlemmer tilbage, hvorfor hun hader at miste endnu et, og af alle de tilbageværende forventede hun bestemt ikke, at det ville være hende kusine Hadley - som teknisk set allerede var død - der ville være den næste. Hadley var ledsager til New Orleans vampyrdronning, og efterlader Sookie en arv. En arv som ikke er helt risikoløs, da der er flere som ikke er interesseret i, at Sookie graver for meget i Hadleys fortid - eller i hendes ejendele.

Blood Highways is the heart-wrenching account of the biggest product liability case in history: the Ford-Firestone fiasco. At the center of the story are two people: Tab Turner, a charismatic trial attorney from Arkansas, who has made a career out of forcing Ford and other automakers to own up to knowingly trade human lives for profits; and Donna Bailey, a single mother and outdoor enthusiast who fought back from the brink of death to confront those ultimately responsible for her accident.
