Darkly Dreaming Dexter
Summary
Darkly Dreaming Dexter is the first novel in the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay, introducing readers to Dexter Morgan, a seemingly mild-mannered blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who harbors a dark secret: he is also a vigilante serial killer. Dexter's unique code, instilled in him by his adoptive father, directs him to channel his homicidal urges towards other murderers who have evaded the justice system.
Set against the backdrop of Miami's vibrant cityscape, the novel delves into Dexter's complex inner world, his struggle with his "Dark Passenger," and his efforts to appear normal while satisfying his need to kill. The plot thickens when Dexter becomes involved in the investigation of a series of murders that resonate with his own methods, forcing him to confront the possibility of a connection between himself and the killer.
Published by Doubleday, Darkly Dreaming Dexter is targeted towards an adult audience.
