Dexter In The Dark

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 Dexter 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. As Halpern and Dexter are stalked by death, it looks like it's getting personal - especially as Dexter 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.
