Product Description
This debut novel introduces a charming psychopath worthy of Hannibal Lecter. Dexter Morgan is a blood spatter pattern analyst for the Miami police department. He`s also a sociopath--completely incapable of normal human emotions--and a serial killer. His adoptive father, a retired policeman, recognized Dexter`s tendencies early on, and encouraged him to channel them into something more socially productive: i.e., killing bad guys like pedophiles. Now someone is murdering prostitutes, and disposing of the bodies in a manner remarkably similar to Dexter`s MO. The killer seems to be sending a message aimed directly at Dexter. But no one but Dexter is capable of interpreting that message, least of all Dexter`s sister Deb, a cop assigned to the case who`s totally unaware of Dexter`s extracurricular activities. Dexter must make a choice: should he help Deb make an arrest...or should he help the killer whose work he so admires? Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.

Dexter 1 (bbywlf, AZ, 2008-06-21)

GREAT BOOK, especially if you are a Dexterphile like me!!!!......Storyline is similar to the TV show, yet different enough that the book is Dexter ANEW, creating more intriguing and exciting scenarios to develop. The book is a fast & easy read. I would have liked for Overstock product info to include the fact that the book storyline is different from the show, as that would have made it easier to decide to buy. Great value for the price.....

Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Andreanlc, Lake Charles, LA, 2008-02-04)

I have not seen the television program and I have been trying new kinds of reading lately, so....Anyway, it was OK, not particularly one way or the other. A psychopath directed by his adoptive father to kill bad people rather than random people is a different concept...
