There's an entire world
that exists alongside the everyday life of mankind. There are powers,
nations, monsters, wars, feuds, alliances - everything. Wizards are part
of it. So are a lot of other things you've heard about in stories, and
even more you've never heard of...Vampires. Werewolves. Faeries. Demons.
Monsters. It's all real.
Harry Dresden knows full well that such
creatures exist. Paranormal investigations are his stock-in-trade, and
Chicago is his beat as he tries to bring law and order to a world that
exists on the edges of imagination. Luckily Harry's not alone in this
struggle. And though most inhabitants of the Windy City don't believe in
magic, there's a department that's been set up within the Chicago PD to
deal with "strange" cases: the Special Investigations department.
Karrin
Murphy is the head of SI and a good friend of Harry's. So when a deadly
vampire threatens to destroy Murphy's reputation unless Harry helps
her, he has no choice. The vampire wants the Word of Kemmler and all the
power that comes with it - but first Harry has to determine what the
Word of Kemmler is. Now Harry is in a race against time - and six
necromancers - to find the Word before Chicago experiences a Halloween
night to wake the dead.

Harry Dresden,
Chicago's only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that
business is pretty good for a change. But now he's getting more than he
bargained for.
A duel with the Red Court of Vampires' champion, 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...
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 semivampiric 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.

Harry Dresden's faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career. Giant scorpions. Oversexed vampires. Psychotic werewolves. All par for the course for Chicago's only professional wizard.
But in all Harry's years of supernatural sleuthing, he's never faced anything like this: the spirit world's gone completely postal. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble-and not just of the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly.
Someone-or something-is stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc. But why? And why do so many of the victims have ties to Harry? If Harry doesn't figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself.
