Affliction (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter) by Laurell K Hamilton

Micah is called back home by his estranged family, because his father, a county sheriff, has been attacked and is terribly injured. Anita and Nathaniel are going with him for moral support and to meet his family under very trying circumstances.

But now Micah’s father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease.” 
Anita—who understands zombies better than anyone—knows there’s more to it than that. While zombies have unlovable traits, being one doesn’t cause human beings to rot in agony. She needs to solve that mystery—but now a more immediate issue is pressing: Micah’s father may have only five days to live.
