About this listen

 Harry Dresden, Chicago's 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. Recent examples: A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...Hit men using Harry for target practice...The missing Shroud of Turin - and the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss...A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified...Not to mention the return of Harry's ex-girlfriend Susan, who's still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature - and who seems to have a new man in her life. Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you're charging.©2003 Jim Butcher (P)2009 Penguin Audiobooks Classics Fantasy Fiction Chicago Magic Wizardry Paranormal Magic Users

Fast paced and at times gruesome book. Smattered with la long love and faithful friends. Add that with a bit of magic and you have a great entertaining book to the very end.
