The macabre, witty NY Times bestselling series (and inspiration for the #1 Showtime series, Dexter) continues as our darkly lovable killer matches wits using a sadistic artiste-who is creating bizarre murder tableaux of his own around Miami.

After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he’s specialized in his bride-to-be, his stomach is normally complete, and his homicidal interests are nicely under control. But old habits die hard-and Dexter’s work as a bloodstream spatter analyst under no circumstances fails to offer new temptations that charm to his offbeat feeling 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 the Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter’s curiosity and Miami’s finest realize they’ve got a terrifying new serial killer over the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back business.
