Summary
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.
