Synopsis

The First Death chronicles among other things, Anita's first meeting with Jean-Claude, and it does it in a graphic novel format. It takes place almost a year before the events currently being chronicled in Guilty Pleasures and gives a background to some of the events that are referenced there. You will get to see Anita at a crime scene, the first time Anita and Jean-Claude meet, Anita's first time inside Guilty Pleasures,Pleasures, her first serial killer case, and a very early encounter with Edward. Anita and Edward hunt a killer vampire, and race to find him before more innocent blood is spilled. We see how deep into the vampire psyche is Anita willing to delve in order to get her killer and what she may have to sacrifice in order to stop this murderer from striking again.
