Could a werewolf be loose in Chicago? Common sense says no. The grisly evidence says yes. So does Harry Dresden. And with his weird connections, he should know.... Fans of Laurel K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series. (Harriet Klausner, BookBrowser) A very promising start to a news series...unusually well-crafted. (Locus) Exciting, well-plotted, complex, an excellent read and amazingly good first novel. (Chris Bunch, author of The Warrior King) Try it, you'll like it. An exciting debut novel suggesting there are wizards and witches among us... wish I'd thought of it myself. (Glen Cook, author of Faded Steel Hat A really enjoyable read...Jim Butcher strikes just the right narrative balance between wizard and wiseguy, mystic and mobster. (Lynn Flewelling, author of Traitor's Moon) Harry is a remarkable character...With more novels like this gem, Jim Butcher will not need magic to become a household name. (BookBrowser) Good luck putting the book down, I know I couldn't. (Fan Attic)
