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 … 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 of faerie politics. Until he finds out that the fate of the entire world rests on his solving this case. No pressure or anything…

Love these books, can’t wait for the next one to come out!
I love this entire series! Harry is an appealing hero-a talented wizard who is entirely human in his feelings and reactions to others. He is surrounded by vampires of various types, fairies, demons, werewolves and some unique humans. There is often a damsel in distress to save. And of course our charming Harry has to be able to pay his rent and keep his ancient car running while keeping the supernatural underworld in check. If you like adventure with some humor and magic you’ll love this series.
So much fun & fast paced witty action it’s hard to believe there’s any time for a personal life with all the ups & downs of humanity.
Jim Butcher’s Dresden Series awakened me to new type of book. He is the kind of author that you can’t wait for the next one. I didn’t really think I would like these books, but boy was I wrong. Highly recommended. I really cannot say enough.
I love the Dresden series! It’s a wonderful setting and the characters are phenomenal
17 books in this series. I have read four and each one is better than the previous book.
I’ve read this book four times. This book explains the world oh Harry Dresden. If Summer Knight and Cold Days don’t get you hooked, Dresden ain’t got you.
Great story with original plot and well developed characters. Good writing with good plot.
Jim Butcher is my favorite author and his Harry Dresden series is not to be missed! A must read!
I’ve read all his books. I was sorry he didn’t write more
Absolutely my favorite series!! Go Harry, Go
It is a well written mystery.
One of the best in the series.
You can tell how great Harry Dresden is by how many people have tried and failed to imitate him. I personally liked the earlier novels best but the entire series was in the good to excellent range.
love the Dresden Files. great fun.
I love Harry Dresden. I love his adventures, and how things keep getting deeper for him as the books progress. This particular one was a heck of a lot of fun, and sets things up for stuff down the road. Highly enjoyable, highly recommended.
