Publisher's Synopsis
In this acclaimed follow-up to the bestselling novelDarkly Dreaming Dexter, we pick up with Dexter Morgan when he's under considerable pressure. It's not easy being an ethical serial killer-but he's doing his best to keep up the disguise, spending time with his girlfriend and her kids, slowly becoming the world's first serial killer couch potato. Then a particularly nasty psychopath starts cutting a trail through Miami and killer whose twisted techniques leave even Dexter speechless. When his sister Deborah, a tough-as-nails cop, is drawn into the case, it becomes clear that Dexter will have to do something about it. Unless, of course, the killer finds him first . . .
