About this listen

 Wizard Harry Dresden must investigate his own flesh and blood when a series of killings strike Chicago’s magic practitioners in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Someone is targeting the members of the city’s supernatural underclass—those who don’t possess enough power to become full-fledged wizards. Some have vanished. Others appear to be victims of suicide. But now the culprit has left a calling card at one of the crime scenes—a message for Harry Dresden.

Harry sets out to find the apparent serial killer, but his investigation turns up evidence pointing to the one suspect he cannot possibly believe guilty: his half-brother, Thomas. To clear his brother’s name, Harry rushes into a supernatural power struggle that renders him outnumbered, outclassed, and dangerously susceptible to temptation.

And Harry knows that if he screws this one up, people will die—and one of them will be his brother...©2008 Roc; (P)2009 Penguin Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Mystery Private Investigators Detective Magic Magic Users Wizardry Paranormal

Critic reviews

Praise for the Dresden Files

“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”—Midwest Book Review

“Superlative.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”—Cinescape

“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.”—Booklist (starred review)

“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.”—SF Site

“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.”—Library Journal

“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].”—The Washington Times

Another great book. Very much into this series. Great stories, with interesting twists. Recent books have had a seemingly more brief crescendo. Still very much enjoyable.

Jim Butchers Dresden Files are excellent.
Yes it’s urban fantasy, but they’re written with great thought & depth of character.
And James Marsters IS Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden.
Brilliant!

I’m in the process of listening to the excellent James Marsters reading the Dresden series for the third time! Just like with the great novels, I’m getting more and more out of the stories with each listen. I have a small request though. When describing men, can we have the same description of their physicality as for the women? I think it could be more equal that it is. Pecs like the solid armour, or shoulders like boulders, that sort of thing. Sometimes, I get the impression that Harry is a bit of a perv, but I guess he doesn’t get a lot of sex. Maybe he should date more? Otherwise, I think these are the best fantasy novels I’ve ever read. I hope there are more to come! Also, when is Netflix or Prime, or Apple, going to take these and make them into something like Wheel of Time or The Witcher? I would love to see these stories being given proper investment and care to bring them to our screens. With the right approach, it would be incredible!

Excellent story, as ever, from the Master of Magic and Fantasy.
