Darkly Dreaming Dexter
fullDescription
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The “dark comedy with a creative twist” (Miami Herald) that introduced America’s favorite serial killer—the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.

“A macabre tour-de-force.”—The New York Times Book Review
Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. He’s a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people.

And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened–of himself or some other fiend.
Look for all of Jeff Lindsay’s deliciously twisted Dexter novels:
DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER • DEARLY DEVOTED DEXTER • DEXTER IN THE DARK • DEXTER BY DESIGN • DEXTER IS DELICIOUS • DOUBLE DEXTER • DEXTER’S FINAL CUT • DEXTER IS DEAD
