When a ghost from her past reignites the darkest of hunts, no one in Seattle is safe.

Seattle, 1985—Crime reporter Holly Sparks is haunted by her sister's unsolved murder—a crime she's convinced was the work of the infamous Green River Killer. But her investigation takes a terrifying turn when she uncovers a chilling truth: There might be two monsters stalking the city, and one wears a badge.

Five years later, her bestselling true crime novel can’t erase the pain of her sister’s unsolved case. But when Holly's violent ex-fiancé is let out of prison on parole, and murders mirroring the Green River Killer begin again, Holly fears the unthinkable: Is her ex-fiancé behind her sister's death and a string of others? As the line blurs between hunter and hunted, she faces a deadly choice—uncover the truth or become the next victim.

Only the hunt will tell.

A chilling prequel to The Final Hunt, The First Hunt lures you into a story of justice and survival, where monsters hide in plain sight.
