Jasper Dent fans, ya boy is back!

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.

Brides are being murdered on their wedding nights. Soaked in blood and draped in lace. With nothing left behind to help them find the killer, the FBI is at an impasse. Their only, desperate hope is to convince Jasper Dent, the son of two serial killers and a former teen prodigy at hunting down such monsters, to emerge from his self-imposed exile.

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 coma, both results of their final confrontation with Jasper years ago. Now wealthy from a bestselling memoir about his parents, Jasper still carries the scars from their parenting—and the uncanny, unwanted ability to understand killers that they instilled in him.

Jasper wants nothing more than to hide from his past – cash his royalty 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 once again. His skills rusty, his confidence shaken, Jasper races against a ticking clock, frantically seeking to solve the impossible mystery before more women meet a horrific end.

Okay so since Jasper's new book is coming out are we gonna get any howie content? I doubt he'll be featured much since he's not as a big figure as Jasper but will he at least be mentioned, maybe even featured?

P.S, maybe also a sneak peek from the book? A quote or sentence? It's coming out in june I think so I understand if you don't want to, since it's coming out so soon

With admiration and respect, A-Ari B. Howies #1 fan <3

Sneak peek, you say?

There's a nice chunk of the beginning of the book on my site! It will hopefully tantalize you...and perhaps even answer some of your questions!

I'm chuckling a little bit as I type this because there was NOTHING glossed over in the original trilogy. I went as bad and as bloody as I wanted. Shit, I had Billy skin a dog alive as an object lesson to Jazz!

The only thing I softened AT ALL was at the very end. My editor was SO squicked out about the incest/rape reveal. She begged me to change it, but I couldn't. It was the story, you know?

There was one line, where Janice specifically says she took Jasper's virginity at age six. My editor implored me just to take out that one line. And I did. Because I'd made my point, I'd told my story, and it was just a detail.
