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 Butcher’s smart-guy private eye may have taken on more than he can handle…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 … that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad. Such as:
• A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards…
• Professional 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.

I’ve enjoyed this series.
Highly recommend the entire series. Eagerly awaiting the newest release this summer!
I love all the books in this series by Jim Butcher. Can’t wait for the next one to come out!
I didn’t expect to like the series… I blew it off for years but have completely enjoyed the writing and the story
Another great Harry Dresden book. Every time I pick one of these up, I wonder why I stopped. I loved the dialogue, the flow of the story, the characters, the villains, and the witty quips. Maybe I’m just not versed enough in the genre, but I feel like this series is one of a kind.
Anything Harry Dresden!
I love all of the Drushun files and I want him to keep writing about Harry!
It’s rare to find a fantasy series so well written, yet action oriented. You’ve got to love Harry and his adventures. They are page turners!
Harry Dresden finds new, darker opponents in town, and is stretched further in his choices in this book.
If you love the mix of sorcery and noir detective stories with small twists of humor that make up the Dresden books , then you are sure to love this installment.
Dresden Files series is the best recommendation my children ever gave me!
Jim Butcher is my favorite author of all time! I highly recommend his Harry Dresden series!
GREAT FANASTY
If you like magic, fantasy and crime or detective novels then Wizard PI is the one to follow! I am anxiously waiting the next in the series.
The only thing ever wrong about a Dresden Files novel is the length of time to the next one!
One of my 3 favourite Crime Fiction/ Urban Fantasy authors!
never met a harry ndresden i didn’t like
Harry Dresden must avoid a war between the Red Court vampires and the White Council, by a duel with the Red Court vampire warlord Ortega. And, he must find and return the stolen Shroud of Turin to his client, so he can pay his bills. And, he must deal with his feelings for his ex-girlfriend Susan, who has returned with a friend, Martin. And, he must survive the Denarians, demons from the Fallen, who want Dresden in their number. And, he must avoid getting arrested by the police, because he was seen leaving the scene of a murder. While ultimately discovering what is truly in his heart. Why does he do what he does for mankind?
I can’t begin to tell you how much I have LOVED reading this series of books. The characters are amazing and the writing is superb. I have to read books in between each volume so I can stretch out the enjoyment and make the series last longer.
Wonderful author
Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden books are the best!!!
The main characters combo detective/wizard is truly entertaining. He’s not perfect so there are mistakes made with serious results but his witty remarks as he tries to correct things is very entertaining.
