Summary
Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and
only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the 'everyday' world is full of
strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well
with humans. That's where Harry comes in.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. There's also a message especially
for him, and it ain't pretty. The 'killings' will continue if
Harry can't halt his tormentor, but the evidence implicates his
half-brother, which just doesn't add up. Unfortunately Harry's
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.Magic -
it can get a guy killed.
