The family man with a ritual · In the Shadows

Arthur Mitchell (The family man with a ritual) is a character in Dexter, part of In the Shadows. Arthur Mitchell is a church deacon, a devoted husband and father, a builder of homes for the poor — and the most successful serial killer in American history. The Trinity Killer has repeated the same precise three-part cycle of murders across the country for thirty years, undetected, because no profile allows for a monster with a minivan. To Dexter, who is failing at exactly this balancing act, Arthur isn't just prey. He's a mentor — and the worst mistake Dexter will ever make is taking the apprenticeship instead of the kill.
