Thinking that the problem has been solved, Sookie returns to work at Merlotte's. Tray Dawson, a werewolf who was sent to protect Sookie by Calvin Norris, is shot in this confrontation, and Sweetie is shot and killed by Andy Bellefleur, when he arrives on the scene. As an act of revenge, she now kills any shifter she comes in contact with. Sweetie explains that she was bitten by a werewolf, and has become part shifter. Later, Sookie is in an alley with Sam (in his dog form) trying to find the killer, when Sweetie Des Arts, Merlotte's cook, comes at her with a gun. Ballistics says that her bullet matches the bullets of all the others who were shot, except Sam's. Sookie is then shot while leaving the library, presumably because she associates with shifters. A dead man (killed by Charles Twining during the fire) is found outside her house, covered in gasoline, with a Fellowship of the Sun card in his wallet, so he is blamed for the arson. Someone tries to burn down Sookie's house, but she is saved by her fairy godmother, Claudine. Bill begins to date Selah Pumphrey, a real estate agent, from the nearby town of Clarice. Alcide's father throws his hat into the ring, and Alcide manipulates Sookie into helping his father by reading the minds of others in the pack. Colonel Flood, leader of the Long Tooth pack of Shreveport, is hit by a car and dies, so the pack needs a new leader. Known for dispensing their own kind of justice, the real shooter needs to be found before the werepanthers turn on Jason.
Calvin suspects Jason, based on the theory that Jason is angry at weres for turning him into a werepanther. Calvin Norris is also shot and seriously wounded, and Sookie learns that other shifters and were-animals are being shot throughout Louisiana. Eric sends their new bartender, Charles Twining. He asks Sookie to go to Fangtasia to ask Eric to lend him a bartender while he is out. Then Sam is shot in the leg and is therefore unable to run the bar. Calvin Norris comes to watch over him and help him, and Jason turns into a half man/half panther. It's the first full moon since Jason was bitten by the werepanther Felton Norris (in Dead to the World).
Dead as a Doornail is the fifth book in Charlaine Harris's series The Southern Vampire Mysteries.
