Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is Chicagos only openly
practicing wizard. He is also dead broke. His vast knowledge and
magical skills are unfortunately matched by his talent for making
powerful enemies and alienating friends.
With little more than his integrity left, he accepts an offer of
work from Lt. Karin Murphy of Chicago's Special Investigations Unit. He
wants to redeem himself in Murphy's eyes and make enough money to quiet
his rumbling stomach.
Soon he finds himself pinned between trigger-happy FBI agents,
shape-shifiting motorcycle gang members, a threatened mobster boss, and
an heir to an ancient curse along with his primal fiance. Thrown in
environmental activists and a pair of young werewolves in love and you
have something of Fool Moon.
Written by New York Times Bestselling Author Jim Butcher.

Industry Reviews
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
