One of the most likable vigilante serial killers faces his ultimate adversary, an evil so terrifying it scares away Dexter's inner monster and nearly dries up his sense of humor in this wickedly witty, darkly suspenseful novel.

Dexter's nemesis, Sergeant Doakes, is getting a little too close for comfort, and there is also the matter of a psychopath on the loose. When Dexter's two problems eventually link up; well, what's a well-meaning homicidal maniac to do?.

Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep's clothing. He's handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. He's a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people. And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened of himself or some other fiend.
