Gianna Sobol THE STORY SO FAR... Sookie, Eric and Bill survive an attempt on their lives in New Orleans only to discover a New Orleans police detective is assigned to investigate vampire crimes. And he knows all about them. And he hates vampires. They ignore his threats to leave town and Bill goes off to investigate the Hep D outbreak— leaving Sookie and Eric to track down the Big Easy's new vampire serial killer. Meanwhile, back in Bon Temps, Lafayette accepts Pam's offer to work at Fangtasia, but he soon regrets his decision... Special thanks to everyone at HBO for their invaluable assistance. Ted Adams, CEO & Publisher Greg Goldstein, Chief Operating Officer Robbie Robbins, EVP/Sr. Graphic Artist Chris Ryall, Chief Creative Officer Matthew Ruzicka, CPA, Chief Financial Officer Alan Payne, VP of Sales
