Blood Debt (Anna Strong Chronicles series #6.5) by Jeanne C. Stein (rating: 3/5, 25Sep2019) is about a bounty hunter who has been turned into a vampire in the past year. She finds she has unwittingly committed a crime against a sanctuary plane of existence and has been called to trial as a result. She killed a murderous evil witch who had fled here from our plane. Apparently evil beings are entitled to sanctuary as well as good beings. We get some background on her along with her defense. I doubt I will spend more time with the series.
