Harry Dresden isn’t your ordinary detective, not only is he a powerful wizard attempting to teach his young apprentice Molly Carpenter discipline and control; he is also a Warden of the White Council. The Council has been at war with the White Court of psychic vampires who feed directly off assorted life forces and the Red Court of blood drinking vamps, an ongoing conflict that has decimated the Wardens ranks. When Dresden’s cute police buddy, Sergeant Murphy calls him in on a suicide case that doesn’t seem quite right; he identifies a cryptic message left by the perpetrator.
Further investigation reveals the presence of a serial killer preying upon Wicca practioners and worse, folks on the street keep seeing a tall man in a gray jacket, a description that fits Dresden. Harry soon uncovers evidence that implicates his brother Thomas as the killer but before he can clear him, he’ll have to battle ghouls in a showdown that eerily reflects an earlier encounter that took place in New Mexico which left him with a damaged hand. Deals with gangsters, a powerful spirit entity and assistance from his first love interest all come to play in a rollercoaster ride of a showdown that literally leaves holes in Dresden’s head. This is one exciting, action packed installment to the Dresden Files that holds your interest from start to thrilling finish.
