[Dexter 05] • Dexter Is Delicious

**America’s most-read, most-watched, and most­ beloved serial killer—Dexter

Morgan—is back. After selling more than _one million copies_ and inspiring the

wildly popular #1 Showtime series and top-rated crime drama on pay-cable

television, _New York Times_ bestselling author Jeff Lindsay returns with his

most hilarious, macabre, and purely entertaining novel yet. **

Dexter Morgan has always lived a happy homicidal life. He keeps his dark urges

in check by adhering to one stead­fast rule . . . _he only kills very bad

people._ But now Dexter is experiencing some major life changes—don’t we

all?—and they’re mostly wrapped up in the eight-pound curiosity that is his

newborn daughter. Family bliss is cut short, however, when Dexter is summoned

to investigate the disappearance of a seventeen-year-old girl who has been

running with a bizarre group of goths who fancy themselves to be vampires. As

Dexter gets closer to the truth of what happened to the missing girl, he

realizes they are not really vampires so much as cannibals. And, most

disturbing . . . these people have decided they would really like to eat

Dexter.

Jeff Lindsay’s bestselling, dark, ironic, and oftentimes laugh-out-loud

hilarious novels about the lovable serial killer with no soul (but a redeeming

desire to kill only people who deserve it) have gained a legion of fans and

assumed a place in our cul­ture.
