Dexter Is Delicious: Dexter Morgan (5)

Jeff Lindsay

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A cabal of killer cannibals is chasing "the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love" (Entertainment Weekly)--the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection.

"An entertaining, funny series . . . In his own way, Dexter is trying to make the world a better place."--Sun-Sentinel

Dexter Morgan's neatly organized life as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police, devoted husband and father, and killer of only those who deserve it is turned upside down by the arrival of his new daughter, Lily Anne. Feeling surprisingly sunny and loving, he's trying to suppress the influence of his Dark Passenger--the voice inside who guides his homicidal urges.

But 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, but cannibals. And most disturbing, these people have their eyes on Dexter . . . and their mouths are watering.
