It’s not just thieves, after all: There’s honor among murderers, too.Ĭheap fun: a guilty pleasure few monster-addicts will be able to resist.Īre we not men? We are-well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006).Ī zombie apocalypse is one thing. Part of Dexter wants to come of the cold and play with this new guy on the block, but he feels an obligation to keep his sister from being implicated. Dexter can play his hand close to his chest, but unfortunately for him one of the cops assigned to the new cases is his sister Deborah, who knows nothing of Dexter’s extracurricular activities. A copycat killer is on the loose, leaving a string of victims strewn about the dark byways of Miami bearing the trademarks of Dexter’s handiwork in an obvious attempt to lure him out of hiding. A consummate professional, Dexter has never left a shred of incriminating evidence behind, but lately he’s begun to worry.
From that day forward, Dexter (and his ghostly imaginary friend, the Dark Passenger) have done well by doing bad, disposing of a long line of pedophiles, killers, sadists, and thugs. Harry tried to help Dexter out by suggesting that the boy might want to make a virtue of necessity by concentrating his murderous energies on the truly wicked people of the world-and Dexter agreed, beginning with the hospice nurse who was systematically overdosing Harry with morphine. Dexter knew from an early age that he was somehow different, and his father, Detective Harry Morgan, had picked up enough abnormal psychology on the job to recognize the signs. It takes one to know one, too, for Dexter has a very deep and well-guarded secret: He’s been bumping people off for years. A “blood-splatter analyst” for the Miami Police Department, Dexter works only on the messiest cases, nearly all homicides and quite a few the work of serial killers. A witty, grisly debut about the secret adventures of a Florida sociopath who murders only bad guys.ĭexter Morgan makes his living off the blood of the dead-literally.
