The new novel in the hit New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series. The Warden Morgan has been accused of treason against the Wizards of the White Council—and there's only one, final punishment for that crime. He's on the run, wants his name cleared, and needs someone with a knack for backing the underdog. Someone like Harry Dresden... Now, Harry must uncover a traitor within the Council, keep a less-than-agreeable Morgan under wraps, and avoid coming under scrutiny himself. And a single mistake may cost someone his head—someone like Harry
The search for a traitor in the highest circles of power forms the main plot thread of Butcher's 11th hard-boiled fantasy novel featuring Chicago's wizard detective Harry Dresden (last seen in 2008's Small Favor). Harry, a warden of the magic-governing White Council, finds himself in an unusual position when Morgan, his fellow warden and frequent antagonist, asks for his help. One of the White Council's leaders has been murdered, and Morgan was found at the scene of the crime holding the murder weapon. If he has been framed, then another senior wizard is behind the killing and may be trying to destroy the council entirely. Aided by werewolf and vampire allies, Dresden investigates with his trademark sardonic noir flair. Despite the sprawling plot, both fans and newcomers will get into the fast-paced action. (Apr.)

November 11, 2009: Once again Butcher delivers a great fantasy rooted in real life adventure. I love the Dresden character which I first found on television. Once the series was canceled I went in search of the origninal concept and found Butcher's Dresden files. Now I can't wait for the annual installments. Turn Coat once again finds Harry battling the Wizarding heirarchy and learning new things about his own linage. There is betrayal afoot and not just in the White Council and Harry must find the culprit, even if it costs him his friends, heroes and loved ones. A great addition to the Dresden File legacy and a must read for any Dresden fan.

November 02, 2009: Listening to this book was wonderful. I had a hard time putting my IPod down to do other things, so it made all of my driving a pleasure while I listened. It's a great story and James Marsters is a terrific storyteller. Since I have so little time to read unless I'm sick or on vacation, I'll probably be buying all of my future Jim Butcher books on CD.
