Hall<br></b><br>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 likeable: he only kills bad people. And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened-of himself or some other fiend. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "A macabre tour-de-force." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>"A dark comedy with a creative twist."--<i>The Miami Herald</i>"Dark and devious. . . . .
