"Dexter Morgan is a serial killer trained by his father Harry to channel his murderous urges through vigilantism, only killing other killers. The source of his murderous and investigative prowess is a "voice" in his mind he calls the "Dark Passenger."
The story begins when Dexter, a forensic analyst for the Miami Police Department, investigates a double homicide at the University of Miami campus. Two female students are found burned and beheaded. Their heads are replaced by the ceramic heads of bulls. Though this is nothing out of the ordinary for Dexter, something about this murder frightens the Dark Passenger into silence, leaving Dexter on his own. As a series of similar murders takes place, a mysterious cult begins stalking Dexter, believing his Dark Passenger to be a threat to them based on their mythology.
The novel also concerns the training of Cody and Astor Bennett, Dexter's soon-to-be stepchildren. Traumatized by their abusive father, Cody and Astor have developed homicidal tendencies similar to Dexter's. Dexter intends to teach them the "Code of Harry," which taught Dexter to hide his dark nature and blend in with normal people."
