Harry Dresden s investigation of a grisly double murder pulls him into the darkest depths of magical Chicago in the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series now celebrating its 25th anniversary!
As a professional wizard, Harry Dresden knows firsthand that the everyday world is actually full of strange and magical things and most of them don t play well with humans. And those that do enjoy playing with humans far too much. He also knows he s the best at what he does. Technically, he s the only at what he does. But even though Harry is the only game in town, business to put it mildly stinks.
So when the Chicago P. D. bring him in to consult on a double homicide committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. . .
A great series fast-paced, vividly realized and with a hero/narrator who s excellent company. Cinescape

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

Eine überaus gelungene Mischung von Krimi und Magie. Dazu die nötige Prise Humor, ohne kindisch zu sein. Volle Empfehlung!

Das Buch ist exakt, was der Klappentext verspricht, nicht mehr, nicht weniger, und setzt das perfekt um.
