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. His job as a blood spatter 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 starts turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened—of himself or some other fiend.
