Dexter's Final Cut by Jeff Lindsay

Dexter's Final Cut: A Novel by Jeff Lindsay --- 352 pages

As fans of Miami PD's Dexter Morgan are well aware, this fall will be the final season of the hit Showtime Network series based on Jeff Lindsay's novels.

Coincidentally, Lindsay's seventh Dexter novel has just been released, and it also hints that Dexter's seemingly charmed life is taking a very different direction.

Dexter and his sister Deborah are informed that they have been assigned as special advisors to a TV network filming the pilot for a new police series set in Miami. Dexter is surprised to discover that there are people who make a good living faking human emotions for the camera --- something that he has learned to do to disguise his inner Monster. Could fame and fortune smile on Dexter? But things turn serious when a brutally murdered woman is found in a Dumpster, and Dexter and Deborah figure out that there's a serial killer lurking in the shadows with a murderous fixation on Jackie Forrest, the star of the show. As events spiral out of control, Dexter's carefully ordered life starts to crack --- to the point where it may not be possible for him to put things back together anymore.
