The Dresden Files have taken the genre of paranormal mystery to a new level of action, excitement, and hard-hitting magical muscle. Now, in Death Masks, Jim Butcherâs smart-guy private eye may have taken on more than he ever wanted to handle.
Â
Harry Dresden, Chicagoâs 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. Such as:
Â
A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards.
Â
Professional hit men using Harry for target practice.
Â
The missing Shroud of Turinâand the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss.
Â
A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified.
Â
Not to mention the return of Harryâs ex-girlfriend Susan, whoâs still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature. And who seems to have a new man in her life. Some days, it just doesnât pay to get out of bed. No matter how much youâre charging.
