Nature and Nurture
A common argument about serial killers is the discussion of whether killers are born evil or raised evil. I think this book adds an interesting note to that in that not only is Jazz biologically the son of a serial killer but he was also raised around murder to do what his father did. Despite having both factors working against him, Jazz does not want to be like his father, showing amazing resilience. Jazz wants to fight who he thinks he could be and doesn't want to end up like his father. I just thought it was an interesting new take on the Nature vs. Nurture argument that always surrounds serial killers.
