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. Meanwhile he's planning a wedding and trying to learn how to be a stepfather to his fiancé's two kids--who might just have dark tendencies themselves.
It's August 1946--one year after the Japanese surrender--and women are turning up dead all over Tokyo. As Detective Minami of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police--irreverent, angry, despairing--goes on the hunt for a terrifying killer, he finds himself simultaneously haunted by his own memories of atrocities he can neither forget nor forgive.
In the latest installment of this beloved series, Isabel Dalhousie--the nosiest and most sympathetic philosopher you are likely to meet--returns to investigate an irresistible puzzle in the art world. While juggling upsets at work with new developments in her personal life, Isabel notices that two paintings attributed to a deceased artist have appeared on the market. Suspicious that they might be forgeries, she begins an investigation that becomes nothing less than an inquiry into the soul of an artist.
