DEXTER IN THE DARK

The third novel in the series which has become a TV hit Dexter: New Blood. Dexter Morgan is busy planning his wedding to Rita to complete his nice-guy disguise. But when a student is found burnt, molested and headless, seemingly sacrificed to an ancient god, and Dex is brought in as 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, he realises his stepchildren might share his extracurricular interest in death. Dex must cope with a certain mutilated sergeant from his past, and more importantly stay alive. 376pp, paperback with fairly large print.
