A teenager shaped by a killer’s example

In the small town of Lobo’s Nod, a new series of murders brings Jazz’s unusual upbringing into the present. His father, a notorious serial killer, taught him to observe crime scenes from a criminal’s perspective; now Jazz works with the police while trying to establish that his family history does not determine his own choices. The mystery is closely tied to questions of identity and self-control, as Jazz weighs what he has learned against the person he wants to become. As the opening novel in a series, it sets up both a murder investigation and an ongoing struggle over inheritance and personal agency.

Book overview

The first book in a thrilling, terrifying series about the son of the world's most famous serial killer and the path he takes to separate himself from his father's twisted crimes. From New York Times bestselling author Barry Lyga, this book is perfect for fans of Dexter.

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 criminals' 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?

From acclaimed author Barry Lyga comes a riveting thriller about a teenager trying to control his own destiny in the face of overwhelming odds.
