I Hunt Killers

Lyga, B. (2012). I hunt killers. New York: Little, Brown. 





We do not choose our parents. If we are lucky, we have good parents that are nurturing, laidback, hard working, laid back, supportive, or even strict. It is probably safe to say that a lot of people have issues with their parents, whether it's because they're over-protective, too loving, too detached, too hardworking, too laidback, too strict but deep down inside we probably know that they are good people. For Jazz he was dealt bad cards with his parents. His mother disappeared years ago and his father, "Dear Old Dad" is a well known serial killer that before he was put away for good, or so he hopes, taught him everything there is about being a serial killer. 

Jazz, however, is a well liked teenager, with a great best friend and an awesome girlfriend who wants nothing to do with that "sport." There is a murder nearby where he lives that has SERIAL KILLER written all over it. He somehow feels the obligation, sort of, to do something about it. He teams up with the police to help. The question here is, is he really trying to help the police?
