Dearly Devoted Dexter - Jeff Lindsay

Dearly Devoted Dexter is the second novel in Jeff Lindsay’s bestselling Dexter series, the darkly humorous crime thriller that inspired the hit TV show.

Dexter Morgan may work as a blood-spatter analyst for Miami PD, but his real hobby is far more sinister. A meticulous serial killer who targets only other murderers, Dexter lives by his own twisted moral code.

This time, however, he’s under constant surveillance. Sergeant Doakes suspects Dexter is hiding something—and refuses to leave him alone. With Doakes shadowing his every move, Dexter hasn’t killed in months, and the pressure is building.

When a horrifying new case emerges involving a sadistic torturer, Dexter and Doakes are forced into an uneasy alliance. To catch the monster, one of them must become bait. But trust is dangerous—especially when one of you is hiding a dark passenger.
