Dexter in the Dark by Jeff Lindsay (Hardback, 2007) New Book

About the book\n\u201COne of the most likable vigilante serial killers\u201D (The New Yorker) faces his ultimate adversary...an evil so terrifying it scares away Dexter\u2019s inner monster\u2014and nearly dries up his sense of humor\u2014in this wickedly witty, darkly suspenseful novel.\nIn his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil deeds...particularly because, on occasion, he rather enjoys committing them himself. Guided by his Dark Passenger (the reptilian voice inside him), he lives his outwardly normal life adhering to one simple rule: he kills only very bad people. Dexter slides through life undetected, working as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, helping his fianc\u00E9 raise her two adorable (if somewhat...unique) children, and always planning his next jaunt as Dexter the Dark Avenger under the light of the full moon.\nBut then everything changes. Dexter is called to a crime scene that seems routine: a grue.
