From the world of Barry Lyga's New York Times bestselling 'I Hunt Killers' trilogy comes a thrilling adult mystery about the hunt for a monstrous serial killer.
Someone is killing brides on their wedding night. The killer leaves them soaked in blood and lace, but otherwise the crime scenes are immaculate: nothing left behind to help them find the killer. The FBI is at a standstill, and they decide their best hope is to bring in a consultant. Jasper Dent, son of two serial killers and former teen prodigy at tracking serial killers, is a grown man now and just the guy for the job.
When he was a teenager, both of Jasper's parents were members of a secret society of serial killers. Today, his father is in prison and his mother is in a vegetative state, both as a result of a confrontation with Jasper years ago. Jasper, now wealthy from a best-selling memoir about his parents, still carries the scars from their parenting – and the uncanny ability to understand killers that they instilled in him.
Jasper could run away from his past – take his royalties checks and never think about murder and blood again. But he knows the only way to find any meaning or redemption in his life is to face his demons. The clock is ticking and Jasper must solve the unsolvable before more brides meet their dreadful fate. Barry Lyga is the author of more than twenty-five books for teens and adults in a variety of genres, including the New York Times bestselling I Hunt Killers and Thanos: Titan Consumed, the origin of the greatest villain in the MCU. He won the Kentucky Bluegrass Award for I Hunt Killers and was named a Kentucky Colonel by Governor Steven Beshear in 2015. His novel Boy Toy was lauded as "…an astounding portrayal of what it is like to be the young male victim," and yet has been banned in multiple districts throughout the United States for its unflinching portrayal of child abuse.
