Dexter Morgan is faced with a terrifying concept - being seperated from his Dark Passenger, the part of him that allows him to kill truly evil people without remorse. Now he may have to live the rest of his life with a conscience, making it very difficult for him to act out his murderous tendencies. What's more, there's a killer on the loose - a killer who is so deadly and evil that they even frighten Dexter himself.

The Dexter novels appear to be going from strength to strength, with Jeff Lindsay continually evolving the character into an ever more likeable and loveable rogue. Here we are shown that it isn't just Dexter's Dark Passanger that possesses a blood lust, but that Dexter himself feels incomplete without thatpart of himself. This installment is very different from the previous two, but still gives us some funny situations mixed with some truly terrifying concepts, bordering almost on the supernatural.
