Dexter in the Dark - Jeff Lindsay

I think I started this in the middle of the series. Oops, I probably would have been less confused for the first part of the book had I known.

The back says:

In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is accustomed to seeing evil deeds… particularly because, on occasion, he commits them himself. But Dexter’s happy existence is turned upside down when he is called to an unusually disturbing crime scene at the university campus. Dexter’s Dark Passenger—mastermind of his homicidal prowess—immediately senses something chillingly recognizable and goes into hiding. Dexter is alone for the first time in his life, and he realizes he’s being hunted by a truly sinister adversary. Meanwhile he’s planning a wedding and trying to learn how to be a stepfather to his fiancee’s to kids—who might just have dark tendencies themselves. Macabre, ironic, and wonderfully entertaining, Dexter in the Dark goes deeper into the psyche of one of the freshest protagonists in fiction.

You know how you get really angry about seeing all of the good scenes from the movie in the preview? Ya, that’s is what this back of the book did. That is basically the entire book, leaving very few things out.

The Dark Passenger is Dexter’s special schizophrenic friend that lives in his mind and tells him how to kill people. This takes the reader a good 100 pages to figure out however.
