Santiago Cabrera has landed a recurring role on Dexter Season 7.

The former Heroes and Merlin star will appear on multiple episodes, according to Entertainment Weekly, as Ethan Price, an author of true crime books based on famous murder cases.

Hmmm… we'll wonder how he'll find anything along those lines in Miami.

With Yvonne Strahovski and Ray Stevensen among key guest stars, Dexter returns with new episodes on September 30.
