Summary
Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and
only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the 'everyday' world isfull of
strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well
with humans. That's where Harry comes in.Harry Dresden should
be happy that business is good - makes a change. But now he's
getting more than he bargained for: a duel with the Red Court
of Vampires' champion, who must kill Harry to end the war
between vampires and wizards; professional hit men using Harry
for target practice; the missing Shroud of Turin (less missing
than expected) and a headless corpse the Chicago police need
identifying . . . Not to mention the return of Harry's
ex-girlfriend Susan, still struggling with her semi-vampiric
nature. And who seems to have a new man. Some days, it just
doesn't pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you're
charging.Magic - it can get a guy killed.
