Miami's best-dressed serial killer is back and on the prowl - as least he would be if he could shake his permanent shadow. Ever since their paths first crossed, Sergeant Doakes hasn't let Dexter Morgan out of his sight. Dexter may well be the Miami PD's blood-spatter analyst, but Sgt. Doakes has a pretty good idea of how Dexter likes to spend his free time and he's determined to catch him in the act.



Dexter hasn't killed in months and is getting twitchy. To throw Doakes off his scent, he's spending more time with Rita, his girlfriend. But no matter how many cosy nights they spend in front of the TV, Doakes is still watching.



Then a body turns up and Doakes and Dexter will have to work together...if they can trust each other. It's a devil's pact and one of them will have to be the bait...

Jeff Lindsay

Jeff Lindsay is the pen name of American playwright and crime novelist Jeffry P. Freundlich, best known for his novels about sociopathic vigilante Dexter Morgan. Many of his earlier published works include his wife Hilary Hemingway as a co-author. His wife is the niece of Ernest Hemingway and an author in her own right.

The first book in the Dexter series, Darkly Dreaming Dexter was included on the original nomination list for the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Awards in the Best First Novel category.

Dexter aired as a 2006 TV series on Showtime with the first season based on Darkly Dreaming Dexter. The second and third seasons, aired in 2007 and 2008, respectively, have original storylines that do not follow the plots of Lindsay's books. On October 21, 2008, Showtime renewed the series for a fourth and fifth season, each consisting of 12 episodes. On November 18, 2011, it was announced that Dexter had been renewed for a seventh and eight season.

Lindsay had a cameo role in the tenth episode of the third season of Dexter. Lindsay is currently working on a seventh Dexter novel entitled Dexter's Final Cut. The release date will be in September 2013.

Dearly Devoted Dexter is the second in Jeff Lindsays Dexter series. Dexter Morgan, the serial killer with a conscience, is spending time at his girlfriend Ritas, acting like a devoted boyfriend and playing hangman with her kids, Astor and Cody. This is cementing his cover as a normal human being in the hope that Sergeant Noakes will stop shadowing him, but Dexters Dark Passenger is getting frustrated at the lack of fun they are able to have. Then, a killer leaves a victim so awfully mutilated that even Dexter is shocked. Someone is sent from Washington to take over the case and Dexters cop sister, Deborah becomes involved in more ways than usual. This novel has plenty of dark humour, both in the plot and Dexters inner monologue. Witty repartee and dry quips between the characters abound. The situation of Dexters accidental engagement is hilarious and there is a delicious irony in killers method. Of course Lindsay also gives the reader lots of clever D alliteration and a virtual Cuban diner menu of mouth-watering dishes. Most readers will be eagerly awaiting the next instalment, Dexter in the Dark.
