Darkly Dreaming Dexter follows Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department who leads a secret double life as a serial killer. Guided by a strict code taught by his adoptive father, Dexter only targets other killers who have escaped justice. When a new murderer begins committing crimes that seem to mimic Dexter’s methods, he is drawn into a dangerous game that challenges his control and identity. The novel explores themes of duality, morality, identity, and the nature of justice through a dark and psychological lens.
