No rest for the wicked - the serial killer with a heart is back . . .

As seen on TV - DEXTER: NEW BLOOD - major new drama

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. Soon it seems the dark passenger in Dexter's head has gone into hiding. And when something creeps out your friendly neighbourhood serial killer, you know it's serious . . .

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, Dexter realises his stepchildren might share his extracurricular interest in death. Could he help them target their bloodlust, just as he steers his own? But to do that, Dex must cope with a certain mutilated sergeant from his past, and more importantly . . . stay alive . . .

Wonderful ... Darkly amusing ... Our handsome murderer may consider himself emotionless, but his sheer joie de vivre - or joie de mourir - is both obvious and contagious * BOSTON GLOBE *
Articulate and ghoulish, Dexter is one of a kind and his adventures never fail to entertain * GUARDIAN *
Dark humour at its creepy best * DAILY EXPRESS *
Dexter's] adrenaline-pumping gore factor is balanced with large doses of hilarious black humor. Any writer who can make his readers love a serial killer must be doing something right * USA TODAY *
Dark humour at its creepy best * DAILY EXPRESS *
