The private investigator is a character with a long history in storytelling. The mythos of the wizard goes back even further. Jim Butcher draws on both traditions in his series The Dresden Files, featuring wizard/detective Harry Dresden.
To date, Harry has fought fairies and fey creatures, ghouls, vampires, werewolves, evil wizards, sorcerers, and his own inner demons. His allies and enemies create a rich cast of characters, including police detectives, mob bosses, holy knights, and a talking skull named Bob. Butcher is a master of both noir mystery and action, weaving them together into a set of supernatural thrillers that will please fans of Philip Marlowe and Harry Potter alike.
The Dresden Files began with Storm Front in 2000, and Ghost Story (book 13) will hit shelves at the end of July. Place your holds now!
