Picking up six months after Storm Front, Harry finds himself in cold water with Murphy and genuinely unsure how the heck to make amends while finding himself wrapped right into another case that is even more mind-boggling than the last.

Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only practicing wizard, doesn’t know how to make heads or tails out of the bloody, gruesome murders that appear to have been committed by a werewolf. At a loss, he doesn’t know who to believe, let alone trust.

True to Butcher’s style, the follow up is as caustically witty as the first, and just as conversational: an addictive read that reels you in and yanks you through the exciting twists.
