In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil particularly because, on occasion, he commits them himself. But 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 fiance`s two kids - who might just have dark tendencies themselves. Macabre, ironic, and wonderfully entertaining, Dexter in the Dark goes deeper into the psyche of one of the freshest protagonists in recent fiction.
