Meet Harry Dresden, Chicagos first (and only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the everyday world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them dont play well with humans. Thats where Harry comes in. n n A series of apparent suicides rings alarm bells with the police, and Harry is hired. At the first crime scene he hits pay dirt, discovering an unmistakable magical taint. Theres also a message especially for him, and it aint pretty. The killings will continue if Harry cant halt his tormentor, but the evidence implicates his half-brother, which just doesnt add up. Unfortunately Harrys digging around attracts some powerful vampires with a stake in the result. Soon, whichever way he turns, Harry will find himself outnumbered, outclassed and dangerously susceptible to temptation. And if he screws up, his friends will die. n n Magic - it can get a guy killed. n
