Dearly Devoted Dexter is a 2005 novel written by Jeff Lindsay. It is a sequel to the 2004 novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter which formed the basis of the Showtime television series Dexter.
Like its predecessor, the novel follows the trail of an especially demented and elusive criminal, this time one who leaves his victims alive but completely mutilated. Dexter is intrigued, but preoccupied. Stalked by Sergeant Doakes, he has retreated further than ever into his protective facade of normalcy, spending more time with Rita - even getting engaged to her due to an unhappy coincidence - and her two children, Astor and Cody, which leads to new developments in his relationships with them. He suspects Cody shares his own urge to kill, so he feels the need to teach Cody Harry's code, passing it on to him. Deborah's involvement in the investigation leads Dexter into the pursuit of a deadly legacy from Doakes' past.
By the end of the book, there are 41 slides in the rosewood box on Dexter's shelf.
