Book description
Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P. I. Turns out
the 'everyday' world is full of strange and magical things - and most of
them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. But even
a career of narrow escapes and supernatural shenanigans hasn't prepared
Harry for this. A vampire with a grudge has kidnapped his daughter. A
daughter he never knew he had. Furthermore, this vampire plans to use
her blood in a violent ritual sacrifice - designed to kill Harry, his
ex-partner Susan and their child. As allies are perilously thin on the
ground, Harry must find a new source of strength. In the past, there had
always been a line he wouldn't cross, and he's never given in to the
full fury of his own untapped dark powers. But then, only his own life
was at stake. Magic - it can get a guy killed. As well as being a
bestselling author, Jim Butcher is a martial arts enthusiast with
fifteen years of experience in various styles. He's also a skilled rider
and enjoys fencing, singing, bad SF movies and live-action gaming. Jim
lives in Missouri with his wife, son and a houseful of computers.
