Now in hardcover for the first time- book five in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series!
Harry Dresden, Chicago's only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad.
Recent examples: A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...Hit men using Harry for target practice...The missing Shroud of Turin-and the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss...A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified...
Not to mention the return of Harry's ex-girlfriend Susan, who's still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature-and who seems to have a new man in her life.
Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you're charging.

November 12, 2009: This is about the point in the series where the formula really started to annoy me. Basically, it follows as such: Dreden gets his ass kicked, gets saved at the last second, and then figures out how to save the day. And, while this sequence is still the basis of subsequent books, it starts to ease up once you get past this one.

November 11, 2009: once again , here is an author who does not write about what he knows. Having never visited Chicago, he presumes to write about it...everything is wrong. If u can get past those errors, this is a worthwhile read..5th book in the series.
his writing has improved and the first half seemed a little disjointed to me but, the second half grabs u and guides thru to the end..
