Fourth Dexter book on the way

[catalyst2]

According to this interview with Jeff Lindsay at CraveOnLine:

" ..... he's already started working on a fourth Dexter book, and the vigilante-serial killer will be his main professional focus for now.

"There's an obligation involved," Lindsay said. "You work your whole life to get to a place like this, and if people want to read them, I'll write them. As long as they like what I'm doing, I'll keep doing it.""

And it sounds like there will be more books coming after the fourth one, from that. Nice interview too - Lindsay seems to be quite relaxed about how much the series deviates away from his original vision.

I suspect that some of those story lines that didn't go anywhere were setups for S2. The bridge one is, I am almost certain, going to pay off in S2, What was confusing for me was that that looked like one of the story lines from the second book so I thought that S2 might go that way but from a number of interviews, S2 is not going to resemble the second book at all.

This is complete and utter speculation on my behalf but all I could think was that Dexter could somehow become aware of Doakes' killing of suspects in questionable circumstances (to say the least!) and use that to somehow get Doakes off his back? It is mentioned in one of Dexter's VO's, in the first epsiode (I think?) of S1 that Doakes has a record of killing suspects. Just a guess, though!
