Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. He’s a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likable: he only kills bad people.

“One of the most likable vigilante serial killers” ( The New Yorker) faces his ultimate adversary…an evil so terrifying it scares away Dexter’s inner monster - and nearly dries up his sense of humor - in this wickedly witty, darkly suspenseful novel.

Dexter Morgan has been under considerable pressure. It’s just not easy being an ethical serial killer - especially while trying to avoid the unshakable suspicions of the dangerous Sergeant Doakes (who believes Dexter is a homicidal maniac... which, of course, he is). In an attempt to throw Doakes off his trail, Dexter has had to slip deep into his foolproof disguise. While not working as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department, he now spends nearly all his time with his cheerful girlfriend, Rita....

When a hostage situation turns deadly, Billy loses everything - his wife, his daughter, and his career. Devastated, he heads to Key West to put down his gun and pick up a rod and reel as a fishing boat captain. But former co-worker Roscoe McAuley isn't ready to let Billy rest. When Roscoe tells Billy that someone murdered his son, Billy sends him away.

The discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter's curiosity and Miami’s finest realize they’ve got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business.

America’s most-read, most-watched, and most­ beloved serial killer - Dexter Morgan - is back. After selling more than one million copies and inspiring the wildly popular number one Showtime series and top-rated crime drama on pay-cable television, New York Times best-selling author Jeff Lindsay returns with his most hilarious, macabre, and purely entertaining novel yet. Dexter Morgan has always lived a happy homicidal life. He keeps his dark urges in check by adhering to one stead­fast rule...he only kills very bad people.

Dexter Morgan is not your average serial killer. He enjoys his day job as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department . . . but he lives for his nighttime hobby of hunting other killers. Dexter is therefore not pleased to discover that someone is shadowing him, observ­ing him, and copying his methods. Dexter is not one to tol­erate displeasure . . . in fact, he has a knack for extricating himself from trouble in his own pleasurable way.

Mayhem. You won't find this story on television. Hollywood gets more than it bargained for when television's hottest star arrives at the Miami Police Department and develops an intense, professional interest in a camera-shy blood spatter analyst named Dexter Morgan. Mega-star Robert Chase is famous for losing himself in his characters. When he and a group of actors descend on the Miami Police Department for "research", Chase becomes fixated on Dexter Morgan, the blood spatter analyst with a sweet tooth for doughnuts and a seemingly average life.

Dexter is arrested on charges of murder. He has lost everything - including his wife, his kids, and the loyalty of his sister. Now completely alone, Dexter faces a murder charge (for a crime, ironically, he did not actually commit). His only chance for freedom lies with his brother, Brian, who has a dark plan to prove Dexter's innocence. But the stakes are deadly, and the epic showdown that lies in Dexter's path may lead, once and for all, to his demise.

Stealing a Faberge egg. Surviving a double cross. And pulling off the most incredible robbery ever, for the world’s most demanding - and dangerous - collector. This will be the challenge of thief extraordinaire Riley Wolfe’s life. Held prisoner by a top-dog international arms dealer, and a top-notch art collector, Riley has to steal an artwork. Small problem - it’s a fresco, “The Liberation of St. Peter”. Slightly larger problem - it’s in the Vatican.

From the author of the wildly successful Dexter series comes a new, mesmerizing bad guy we can root for: Riley Wolfe. He’s a master thief, expert at disguise, and not averse to violence. It’s no accident, though, that Riley targets the wealthiest 0.1 percent and is willing to kill them when they’re in his way: He despises the degenerate and immoral rich and loves stealing their undeserved and unearned valuables. In this series launch, Riley aims for an extraordinary target in a heist that will make history. Riley will try to steal the Crown Jewels of Iran.

Super thief Riley Wolfe can do it all. He is a master of disguise, can scale a wall, and can vanish into thin air (thick air, too). He uses these unique talents to rob the richest. But this time, it’s the most powerful who have him in their grips.

Billy Knight wants to ride out Key West's slow-season with the occasional charter and the frequent beer. But when he discovers a dead body floating in the gulf, Billy gets drawn into a deadly plot of dark magic and profound evil. Along with his plucky, gun-happy friend, Nicky, and Anna, a resilient and mysterious survivor of her own horrors, Billy sets out to right the wrongs the police won't, putting himself in mortal peril on the high seas.

Impossible doesn’t belong in Riley Wolfe’s vocabulary. He’s a master of heists and disguises, whose life's work is swindling the rich out of their undeserved treasures. Now rumors surrounding a dangerous new figure of international crime are spreading through the underworld. And this ruthless collector, the Cobra, has a personal vendetta against Riley . . .

Als frisch gebackener Vater eines kleinen Wunderbabys namens Lilly-Ann fasst Dexter den Entschluss, ab jetzt ein anständiges Leben zu führen und seine blutrünstigeren Hobbies an den Nagel zu hängen. Als dann jedoch ein junges Mädchen verschwindet und die verdächtigte Gruppe äußerst merkwürdige Praktiken an den Tag legt, hilft der Rechtsmediziner doch wieder seiner Schwester Deborah bei der Aufklärung. Zumal bald der Verdacht des Kannibalismus im Raum steht.

Die ersten drei Thriller um den moralischen Psychopathen Dexter Morgan in einer Sammelausgabe. Dexter Morgan ist ein anerkannter Forensiker, charmant zu seinen Mitmenschen und – ein Serienmörder. Doch ihm wurde von seinem Ziehvater ein strenger Verhaltenscodex auferlegt. Er darf seinen dunklen Trieb nur an denen auslassen, die es verdienen: Menschen, die scheußliche Verbrechen begangen haben. Durch seine Arbeit erfährt er immer wieder von grausigen Morden.

Dexter Morgans Ruf ist makellos: als forensischer Spezialist hilft er der Polizei bei der Aufklärung rätselhafter Fälle und ist mit seiner charmanten Art und seinem attraktiven Äußeren allseits beliebt. Wäre da nicht sein kleines Geheimnis: als weltweit einziger Serienmörder mit dem Herz am richtigen Fleck, bringt Dexter nachts die Verbrecher zur Strecke, die tagsüber vom Gesetz nicht gefasst werden konnten. Dieses befriedigende Doppelleben wird durch eine Mordserie urplötzlich erschüttert, denn die Taten des Serienmörders sehen Dexters eigenen Taten zum Verwechseln ähnlich.

Dexter Morgen hat alles unter Kontrolle: Rechtsmediziner für die Polizei und guter Verlobter und Stiefvater bei Tag, genialer Serienmörder von davongekommenen Verbrechern bei Nacht. Bis auf einmal eine schreckliche neue Mordserie Miami erschüttert: Dexter wird zum Fundort der zerstückelten Leichen zweier Frauen gerufen - allerdings sind ihre Köpfe verschwunden.

Das Leben des weltweit einzigen moralischen Serienmörders ist auf einmal deutlich komplizierter: Sergeant Doakes scheint ihm gegenüber misstrauisch geworden zu sein und so sieht Dexter sich gezwungen, auf der Couch seiner Freundin Rita den harmlosen Rechtsmediziner zu spielen, der außer Bier und BBQ definitiv keine dunklen Pläne schmiedet. Doch dann treibt ein neuer Serienmörder sein Unwesen in Miami und es wird zunehmend schwerer, Dexters blutrünstigen Gerechtigkeitssinn unter Kontrolle zu halten.

Kaum ist Dexter von seiner überraschend idyllischen Hochzeitsreise in Paris zurück, wird Miami erneut Schauplatz einer schauerlichen Mordserie: kunstvoll in Szene gesetzte Opfer scheinen auf einen Serienmörder mit ästhetischem Empfinden zu deuten. Eigentlich wollte Dexter sich ja in seiner häuslichen Zweisamkeit einrichten, doch die blutigen Taten geben ihm eine Reihe neuer Rätsel auf und erwecken seinen unbändigen Instinkt für Rache aufs Neue... Auch der Vierte Teil der Serie überzeugt mit abgründigem Witz und einer Kriminalgeschichte voller Fallstricke.
