The Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology has gone public with scientific verification of vampires, werewolves, and the like. As the country's only outed werewolf celebrity, Kitty Norville is called to testify before a Senate special committee investigating this new information. She has taken her talk radio show "The Midnight Hour" on the road and travels to Washington, D.C. for the hearings.Once there, she meets a colorful series of local personalities, all of whom seem to have secret agendas: Alette, the vampire mistress of the city; Luis, an uber-hot Brazilian were-jaguar; Fritz, a grizzled old werewolf and possible Nazi in hiding; Roger Stockton, an enthusiastic reporter who wants to catch Kitty shape-shifting on film; Senator Joseph Duke, the paranoid Bible-thumper who chairs the committee; Elijah Smith, self-proclaimed faith healer to the supernatural. And Doctor Paul Flemming, the scientist in charge of the Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology, who seems strangely reluctant to discuss where his research has taken him.As usual, Kitty just wants to speak her mind and stand up for herself. But when so many people see her as a means to their own ends, she can't run fast enough to stay out of trouble.
