Publisher Description
You’re seventeen years old and your father is the most notorious serial killer America has ever produced.
He brought you up. Taught you everything he knows. Everyone in your ordinary American town knows who you are. So even though Dear Old Dad is safely behind bars, when the killing starts all over again, you are the first person the police come to see…
They don’t know whether it’s nature or nurture. And neither do you…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lyga continues to shift genres, delivering a superb mystery/thriller that explores what it's like to have a monster for a father. Seventeen-year-old Jazz's father, Billy Dent, was a prolific and brilliant serial killer who did his best to educate his son in the ways of murder. With Billy in prison for life, Jazz longs to overcome the stigma of his family history, but when a new serial killer strikes his small town, he is drawn into the investigation. Along with his hemophiliac best friend, Howie, and his girlfriend, Connie, Jazz applies the gruesome knowledge his father passed along in an attempt to discover the killer and overcome his fear that he might become a murderer himself. Lyga (Boy Toy) delivers a taut, gory tale that can easily stand on its own as an adult thriller, with a large group of suspects and plenty of red herrings. But it's Jazz's internal conflict about his exposure to his father's evil that adds extra dimension and makes the book shine. Additional books are planned, and TV rights have sold to Warner Bros. Ages 15 up.

You won't be able to put it down!
Excellent book, a real page turner. If you're interested in serial killings and the mindset of the killer this is the book for you. I hope for more books like this from Barry Lyga! (A sequel please!)
