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