I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga
It was a beautiful day. It was a beautiful field. Except for the body. Jazz is ia 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 with they could--from the criminals' point of view. And now, even though Dada 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 unt for this new serial killer. But Jazz has a secret--could he be more like his father than anyone knows?
