Dexter In The Dark

by JeffLindsay (Author)

Synopsis

Is evil alive...? Dr Jerry Halpern is trying to find out, studying for his PhD on the subject. Dexter Morgan, meanwhile, has a few wicked things of his own to contend with - not least, planning his wedding to Rita to complete his nice-guy disguise. But when a student of Halpern's is found burnt, molested and headless - seemingly sacrificed to an ancient god - and Dex is brought in as forensic analyst to help investigate, he realises he could be dealing with someone a whole lot more sinister than he is. Soon it seems the dark passenger in Dexter's head has gone into hiding. And when something creeps out your friendly neighbourhood serial killer, you know it's serious...As Halpern and Dexter are stalked by death, it looks like it's getting personal - especially as Dex now has a family to protect. Gradually, Dexter realises his stepchildren might share his extra-curricular interest in death. Could he help them target their bloodlust, just as he steers his own? But to do that, Dex must cope with a certain mutilated sergeant from his past, and more importantly...stay alive...

Book Overview: In Dexter, Jeff Lindsay has turned convention on its head and created one of the most original and exciting heroes to bloody the pages of a serial killer thriller. After a great response to the pilot, Showtime - makers of THE L WORD and DEAD LIKE ME - are filming a 26-part TV series featuring Dexter, adapted by James Manos Jr, Emmy award-winning writer of THE SOPRANOS, and starring Michael C Hall of SIX FEET UNDER. DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER was shortlisted for the 2005 Barry Awards. Dark, twisted and blacky funny, it's no wonder the critics can't get enough: 'A most welcome return for Dexter Morgan... Clever and wonderfully incorrect, the adventures of Dexter are a delight for all those who like their crime fiction just that little bit twisted.' GUARDIAN
