<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When last seen, the mighty wizard detective Harry Dresden wasn't doing well. In fact, he had been murdered by an unknown assassin. But being dead doesn't stop him when his friends are in danger. Except now he has nobody, and no magic, to help him. Available in a tall Premium Edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Chicago wizard Harry Dresden gets a taste of the dead life in this novel in the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling series.</b> <p/>In his life, Harry's been shot, stabbed, sliced, beaten, burned, crushed, and tortured. And after someone puts a bullet through his chest and leaves him to die in the waters of Lake Michigan, things really start going downhill. <p/>Trapped between life and death, he learns that his friends are in serious trouble. Only by finding his murderer can he save his friends and move on--a feat which would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Worse still are the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, controlled by a dark entity that wants Harry to suffer even in death. <p/>Now, the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic--or face an eternity as just another lost soul...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the Dresden Files</b> <p/>"Think <i>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</i> starring Philip Marlowe."--<i>Entertainment Weekly<br></i><br>"Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series."--<i>Midwest Book Review</i><br> <i> </i><br> "Superlative."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review) <p/> "One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves."--<i>Cinescape</i> <p/> "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."--<i>Booklist</i> (starred review) <p/> "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."--<i>SF Site</i> <p/> "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."--<i>Library Journal</i> <p/> "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]."--<i>The Washington Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <b>Jim Butcher</b> turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with <i>The Aeronaut's Windlass</i>.
