The Bridekiller

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 best-selling 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.
