Death Masks

The Dresden Files have taken the genre of paranormal mystery to a new level of action, excitement, and hard-hitting magical muscle.

Now, in Death Masks, Jim Butcher’s smart-guy private eye may have taken on more than he can handle.... Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change.

But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad.

Such as:

• A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...

• Professional hit men using Harry for target practice...

• The missing Shroud of Turin—and the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss...

• A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified....

Not to mention the return of Harry’s ex-girlfriend Susan, who’s still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature. And who seems to have a new man in her life.

Some days, it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you’re charging.
