Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P.I. It turns out the 'everyday' world is full of strange and magical things—most of which don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in.

Harry Dresden should be happy that business is good—it 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.

Death Masks—Magic—it can get a guy killed.
