Dexter in the Dark

By: Jeff Lindsay

Narrated by: Jeff Lindsay

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 latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.

“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:
DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER • DEARLY DEVOTED DEXTER • DEXTER IN THE DARK • DEXTER BY DESIGN • DEXTER IS DELICIOUS • DOUBLE DEXTER • DEXTER’S FINAL CUT • DEXTER IS DEAD

Critic reviews

Killer Acclaim for Jeff Lindsay’s DEXTER Novels:

“It’s like very little else you’ve read. Imagine if Hannibal Lecter starred in CSI: Miami, and you’re halfway there.”
—Time

“Maybe the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love.”
—Entertainment Weekly

“The real appeal of this macabre tour-de-force is Dexter’s sardonic voice, so snappy and smart, and yet so full of self-loathing that we hate ourselves for laughing.”
—New York Times

“ . . . fascinating, entertaining, and brilliant. Let Jeff Lindsay introduce you to the serial killer next door—Dexter (and his Dark Passenger) are the freshest, most terrifying creations you are ever likely to meet . . . and live to tell about.”
—Robert Crais, New York Times bestselling author

“Totally captivating . . . totally original. The characters are beautifully drawn, particularly Dexter, who is tremendously likable, his hobby notwithstanding.”
—St. Petersburg Times

Interesting story indeed

I watched the show first but I do enjoy the books. Overall this one was quite interesting definitely not close to the show. I’m glad the two are so different it makes them feel like the story is longer.

I know you want at least 15 words, but I don't want to say more.
