This is the perfect blend of mystery and magic!
Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a private investigator in modern-day Chicago, but he is also more than that; he is a wizard for hire. As a professional wizard with adverts in local newspapers, Harry claims to be more adept at understanding the magical oddities of the “normal” world, and sometimes he is the only one that can provide answers for cases both big and small. When the Chicago Police Department hires Harry as a consultant for a double homicide that was clearly committed by someone with black magic, not only does he imagine the big payday this case will bring, he also thinks that they don’t have long before the deadly mage strikes again. Harry understands that it won’t take long before he himself becomes a target, whether by an unidentified killer with unknown power, or by the police that could start looking to pin the double homicide on him if he doesn’t provide answers quickly. It’s a race against the clock to solve the case by any means necessary!
This fast-paced, captivating novel is the first of a series that people will fall in love with. Harry Dresden is a smart, flawed, rough-around-the-edges character that only makes this magical tale feel even more like a classic detective story. A must read!
