In the fourth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring everyone's favorite wizard for hire, Harry Dresden is suckered into the tangled and dangerous affairs of Faerie...
Ever since his girlfriend left town to deal with her newly acquired taste for blood, Harry Dresden has been down and out in Chicago. He can t pay his rent. He s alienating his friends. He can t even recall the last time he took a shower. The only professional wizard in the phone book has become a desperate man.
And just when it seems things can t get any worse, in saunters the Winter Queen of Faerie. She has an offer Harry can t refuse if he wants to free himself of the supernatural hold his faerie godmother has over him and hopefully end his run of bad luck. All he has to do is find out who murdered the Summer Queen s right-hand man, the Summer Knight, and clear the Winter Queen s name.
It seems simple enough, but Harry knows better than to get caught in the middle o f faerie politics. Until he finds out that the fate of the entire world rests on his solving this case. No pressure or anything...
Rezension:
Praise for the Dresden Files
Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe. Entertainment Weekly
Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series. Midwest Book Review
Superlative. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves. Cinescape
Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot. Booklist (starred review)
What s not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves. SF Site
A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime s eries fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner. Library Journal
What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files]. The Washington Times
