Locus
A very promising start to a news series...unusually well-crafted.


Chris Bunch, author of The Warrior King
Exciting, well-plotted, complex, an excellent read and amazingly good first novel.


Glen Cook, author of Faded Steel Hat
Try it, you'll like it. An exciting debut novel suggesting there are wizards and witches among us... wish I'd thought of it myself.


Lynn Flewelling, author of Traitor's Moon
A really enjoyable read...Jim Butcher strikes just the right narrative balance between wizard and wiseguy, mystic and mobster.


BookBrowser
Harry is a remarkable character...With more novels like this gem, Jim Butcher will not need magic to become a household name.


Fan Attic
Good luck putting the book down, I know I couldn't.


Book Description
Could a werewolf be loose in Chicago? Common sense says no. The grisly evidence says yes. So does Harry Dresden. And with his weird connections, he should know....

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Business has beenslow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work—magical or mundane.

But just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.

A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses—and the first two don't count...
