NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Go deeper into the psyche of “the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love” (Entertainment Weekly)—the character that inspired the hit Showtime series Dexter and Dexter: Original Sin.
“Lindsay’s bad boy is back. . . . Perversely funny.”—The New York Times Book Review
In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil deeds—particularly because, on occasion, he commits them himself. Dexter’s happy existence is turned upside down when he is called to an unusually disturbing crime scene at the university campus.
Dexter’s Dark Passenger—mastermind of his homicidal prowess—immediately senses something chillingly recognizable and goes into hiding. Dexter is alone for the first time in his life, and he realizes he’s being hunted by a truly sinister adversary. Meanwhile he’s planning a wedding and trying to learn how to be a stepfather to his fiancée’s two kids—who might just have dark tendencies themselves.
Look for all of Jeff Lindsay’s deliciously twisted Dexter novels:

      In Lindsay’s third novel to feature endearing Miami cop and serial killer Dexter Morgan (after 2005’s Darkly Devoted Dexter
      ), the Dark Passenger, the voice inside Dexter’s head that from time to time drives him to the “Theme Park of the Unthinkable,” inexplicably disappears while Morgan is investigating a gruesome double murder on the University of Miami campus. The crime scene, at which two co-eds were ritualistically burned and beheaded, gives even the human vivisection–loving vigilante the creeps. As the burned and beheaded body count continues to mount, Morgan realizes that the force behind the killings is something even more evil than his Dark Passenger. Though the macabre wit that powered the first two installments of this delightfully dark series (also a hit on TV’s Showtime) is still evident, this third entry takes a decidedly deep introspective turn as Dexter is forced to contemplate not only life without his enigmatic companion but also who—or what—he truly is.

      This third outing of serial killer Dexter Morgan has something new for the oddly affecting and strangely likable blood-splatter expert. (Dexter kills only people who deserve to be killed, especially other serial killers.) Narrator Nick Landrum uses a sneering, wicked, and twisted adolescent tone to imbue Dexter's take on his impending marriage, which will also involve his becoming a stepfather. Landrum expertly allows anxiety to seep into Dexter's narrative as the ever present voice in his head, called "the Dark Passenger," leaves him just when he needs him most. Is Dexter, for the first time in his life, feeling something for another human being? Why should we care? Because narrator Landrum makes us. R.O. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
