His dark past comes back up when a string of copycat murders happen in the small town where he resides. To prove his innocence he begins to work with investigators to try to stop this killer. Jazz will  do anything it takes to prove that he is not his father. Book Review I Hunt Killers is the first book in the trilogy. This book is not for all young adults. Due to the graphic gruesome writing, I recommend this book for ages 15 and up. In addition, this book is the perfect read for students that like thrillers and suspense! Barry Lyga connects the title to what the main character ends up doing!  Many readers will identify with Jazz’s internal battles including fear and self-acceptance. I love how Barry Lyga connects the title to what the main character really ends up doing to prove his innocence.
