The macabre, witty New York Times bestselling series (and inspiration for the #1 Showtime series, Dexter) continues as our darkly lovable killer matches wits with a sadistic artiste--who is creating bizarre murder tableaux of his own all over Miami. After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he’s devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies are nicely under control. But old habits die hard--and Dexter’s work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice...and his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight.
The discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter’s curiosity and Miami’s finest realize they've got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business.

The Dexter Series and Popular Books
The Dexter series is Jeff Lindsay's most famous body of work. It begins with Darkly Dreaming Dexter, in which Dexter Morgan uses his professional knowledge of blood evidence to assist the Miami police while secretly following his own murderous code. The subsequent novels, including Dearly Devoted Dexter, Dexter in the Dark, and Dexter by Design, introduce new investigations and increasingly complicated personal situations.
