Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden has had a rough couple of
weeks. As the only openly practicing professional wizard in the Chicago
area, he has squared off against a multitude of supernatural bad guys.
Harry has won the day against demons, poltergeists, sorcerers, trolls,
vampires, werewolves, and even an evil faerie godmother. You might
think nothing could spook him. You would be wrong.
Something is stirring up angry apparitions all over town. Something
that can break all the laws of supernatural physics. Something that
doesnt like Harry.
His closest friends are being targeted. The net is closing in. Harry
must find a solution soon or find this is one Nightmare from which he
will never waken.

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
