"Harry Dresden, the only wizard you'll find in the yellow pages in Chicago, is asked to help the police solve brutal double-homicide that was done with dark magic.Harry finds himself knee-deep in a deadly web of magic,mobsters, murder as he desperately tries to solve the crime which he soons become a suspect in!Butcher has introduces us to a memorable hero who is no master wizard or hard-boiled detective but a everyman who uses his quick wits and magic to solve a chilling crime.This novel was brilliant combination of hard-boiled detective genre and fantasy with all of the trimmings:murder,dark magic, mafia, and plenty of mayhem!
A very impressive debut by the Author!Think of Harry Dresden as a male Anita Blake!"
