|---|
"This book is the latest addition to Jim Butchers chronicles of the wizard Harry Dresden. Harry is a practicing wizard who advertises in the Chicago yellow pages. His recent actions, including starting a war with the vampires, have brought him to the attention of the White Council, a wizardly regulatory body, that Harry has had problems with in the past. In order not to be executed, Harry agrees to find out who killed the Summer Knight, the knight of the Summer court of the elves. Assisted by a band of pizza loving fairies and a pack of werewolves, Harry must find out who killed the knight before a war between the Elven courts destroys the world. "
