"the second dexter book has been out in paperback for some time now...."
my bad... should have said the author is currently writing a new dexter
book... totally missed that the secod book was even out... thankfully i was the
only one i made an ass out of.... 😛
attn theconundrumm : the third book, due next year, is entitled 'dexter in the
dark'. due - in hc - july 2007.
spoiler alert (not for the tv series, but in case you a really picky about the
books):
here's the blurb: "is evil alive...? dr jerry halpern is trying to find out,
studying for his phd on the subject. dexter morgan, meanwhile, has a few wicked
things of his own to contend with - not least, planning his wedding to rita to
complete his nice-guy disguise. but when a student of halpern's 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 extra-curricular 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..." looking forward to that one!
the second novel - 'dearly devoted dexter' is, if anything, bloodier than the
first, and well worth a read.
