Book Hero thinking about your next read

No rest for the wicked - the serial killer with a heart is back . . .

Dexter is now a major ITV 1 series, adapted by the award-winning writer of THE SOPRANOS, and starring Michael C. Hall of SIX FEET UNDER. Dexter is one of the most original and exciting heroes to bloody the pages of a serial killer thriller. DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER was shortlisted for the 2005 Barry Awards. Both the previous DEXTER novels have received excellent reviews: 'A sleek black comedy' LITERARY REVIEW 'A virtuoso debut by a new young American author, this is a compulsive trip through territory rendered familiar by the psycho-thrillers of Thomas Harris and Michael Connelly ... Articulate and ghoulish, Dexter is one of a kind and his adventures never fail to entertain' GUARDIAN '[A] macabre tour-de-force' NEW YORK TIMES 'A most welcome return for Dexter Morgan ... Clever and wonderfully incorrect, the adventures of Dexter are a delight for all those who like their crime fiction just that little bit twisted' GUARDIAN

Dexter In The Dark by Jeff Lindsay follows Dexter Morgan as he is busy planning his wedding to Rita to complete his nice-guy disguise. However, when a student is found burnt, molested, and headless—seemingly sacrificed to an ancient god—and Dex is brought in as a forensic analyst to help investigate, he realises he could be dealing with someone a whole lot more sinister than he is.

As Halpern and Dexter are stalked by death, it looks like it's getting personal—especially as Dex now has a family to protect. Gradually, Dexter realises his stepchildren might share his extracurricular interest in death.

Could he help them target their bloodlust, just as he steers his own? But to do that, Dex must cope with a certain mutilated sergeant from his past and, more importantly, stay alive...
