Description
Everything's changing for our friendly neighbourhood serial killer. As if getting married wasn't enough to complete his nice-guy persona, Dexter is Delicious now reveals Dexter as the proud father of a baby girl. And disconcertingly, he actually seems to care.
But even if fatherhood is distracting Dexter from his midnight excursions to rid Miami of a few more lowlifes, there's no let-up at work. Two young girls are missing - and it's not long before one of the bodies turns up, partially eaten.
As Dexter and Miami PD's finest investigate, Dexter can't shake the feeling that somebody's watching him...
