Publisher Description
Chicago wizard Harry Dresden gets a taste of the dead life in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
In his life, Harry’s been shot, stabbed, sliced, beaten, burned, crushed, and tortured. And after someone puts a bullet through his chest and leaves him to die in the waters of Lake Michigan, things really start going downhill.
Trapped between life and death, he learns that his friends are in serious trouble. Only by finding his murderer can he save his friends and move on—a feat which would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Worse still are the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, controlled by a dark entity that wants Harry to suffer even in death.
Now, the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic—or face an eternity as just another lost soul...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Butcher's 13th supernatural crime novel featuring Chicago-based wizard Harry Dresden (after 2010's Changes) is less accessible to newcomers than many of its predecessors, though longtime fans will be gratified. The current volume opens with Dresden in a limbo-like state, after "a long, long day, battling the forces of evil, destroying the Red Court utterly, rescuing my daughter and murdering her mother oh, and getting shot to death." Police captain Collin J. Murphy, the late father of Dresden's longtime ally Karrin, explains that an "irregularity" with Dresden's death requires him to go back to Chicago to solve his own murder. Dresden obligingly returns to the world he'd just left, experiencing a steep learning curve as he adjusts to his incorporeal state. The usual plot twists and high-stakes combat with an assortment of supernatural beings ought to hold Butcher's fans for another year.
Customer Reviews
Plenty more to come
Jim's planning about 20-24 books for the main series, then a final 3 book EPIC story, so no worries!
The last few novels, things got dark, and as a result, there was less snark than earlier in the series.
This book has the return of the snark...after all, once you're dead, what's the worst that could happen? It already has, right?
Right?
One of the Best
In the last 100 pages of this book, Butcher proves that the Dresden Files can hold it's own with any series out right now. Jim is one of the best there is.
Change the Reader killed the book
Who ever changed the reader should be fired; if there was a scheduling confilt it would have been worth the wait! The book is good so far, but i die a little bit everytime I hit play knowing its not masters.
