What to expect
But Dexter also has a secret hobby: he is an accomplished serial killer. So far, he's killed 36 people and has never been caught because he knows exactly how to hide the evidence. And while that may lead some people to assume he's not such a nice guy, he tempers his insatiable hunger for brutality by only killing the bad guys.
However, Dexter's well-organised life is suddenly disrupted when a second, much more visible serial killer appears in Miami. Intrigued that the other killer favours a style similar to his own, Dexter soon realises that the mysterious new arrival is not simply invading his turf but offering him a direct invitation to 'come out and play'...

Critics Review
-
A virtuoso debut by a new young American author, this is a compulsive trip through territory rendered familiar by the psycho-thrillers of Thomas Harris and Michael Connelly and other masters of the dark arts of abnormal pathology
GUARDIAN -
One of the most likeable vigilante serial killers in recent thriller literature … Like other charismatic killers – Hannibal Lecter, say, or Tom Ripley – Dexter has a set of motives that are tough to untangle. But his quest proves weirdly convincing
NEW YORKER -
A sleek black comedy
LITERARY REVIEW -
It’s been years since there’s been a thriller debut as original as this one … humorous, self-deprecating, smart and sometimes lyrical – a gripping, deliciously offbeat novel
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -
It’s a great idea. And it’s easy to see why this debut novel has gone down a storm … the whole thing is stylish, polished and very readable
DAILY MIRROR -
Long after readers finish this gripping novel, they will still be thinking (or dreaming) about Dexter
