Dearly Devoted Dexter

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Life is tough for “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the hit Showtime series Dexter and Dexter: Original Sin.

“Morbidly funny.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

It’s not easy being the world’s only serial killer with a conscience, especially when you work for the Miami police. To avoid suspicion, Dexter Morgan’s had to slip deep into his disguise: spending time with his girlfriend and her kids, slowly becoming the world’s first serial killing couch potato.

Then a particularly nasty psychopath starts cutting a trail through Miami—a killer whose twisted techniques leave even Dexter speechless. When his sister Deborah, a tough-as-nails cop, is drawn into the case, it becomes clear that Dexter will have to come out of hiding and hunt the monster down. Unless, of course, the killer finds him first . . .

Look for all of Jeff Lindsay’s deliciously twisted Dexter novels:

It's hilarious and interesting! Dexter is a simple guy. I love his lack of relationship with Rita in the books rather than seeing his love for her in the show. Very AroAce of him
