Description

The Dresden Files have taken the genre of paranormal mystery to a new level of action, excitement, and hard-hitting magical muscle. Now, in Death Masks, Jim Butcher s smart-guy private eye may have taken on more than he can handle… Harry Dresden, Chicago s only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad. Such as: – A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards…
– Professional hit men using Harry for target practice…
– The missing Shroud of Turin–and the possible involvement of Chicago s most feared mob boss…
– A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified… Not to mention the return of Harry s ex-girlfriend Susan, who s still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature. And who seems to have a new man in her life. Some days, it just doesn t pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you re charging.
