Chicago s only professional wizard is about to have a very bad day in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files...
As Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry Dresden never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it s something awful.
Mab has traded Harry s skills to pay off a debt. And now he must help a group of villains led by Harry s most despised enemy, Nicodemus Archleone, to break into a high-security vault so that they can then access a vault in the Nevernever.
Problem is, the vault belongs to Hades, Lord of the freaking Underworld. And Dresden is dead certain that Nicodemus has no intention of allowing any of his crew to survive the experience. Dresden s always been tricky, but he s going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess...
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 series 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
