I Hunt Killers
It was a beautiful day. It was a beautiful field.
Except for the body.
*****
Jazz is a likable teenager. A charmer, some might say.
But he’s also the son of the world’s most infamous serial killer, and for Dear Old Dad, “Take Your Son to Work Day” was year-round. Jazz has witnessed crime scenes the way cops wish they could—from the criminal’s point of view.
And now, even though Dad has been in jail for years, bodies are piling up in the sleepy town of Lobo’s Nod. Again.
In an effort to prove murder doesn’t run in the family, Jazz joins the police in the hunt for this new serial killer. But Jazz has a secret—could he be more like his father than anyone knows?

Advance Praise for I Hunt Killers:
“I Hunt Killers is an out-of-control hearse with one busted head-light, blood on the grille, a madman at the wheel, and laughter pouring out of the open windows. Climb in, buckle up, and go for a ride. It’s the best thing in YA fiction since The Hunger Games.”
— Joe Hill, author of Horns and Heart-Shaped Box
“Something just ain’t right about Barry Lyga, and that’s good news for all of us. I Hunt Killers is a dark carnival ride through twisty questions of good and evil, nature and nurture, with a deliciously demented teen as your guide. Buckle up and keep your hands inside the ride at all times.”
