Wizard Harry Dresden must investigate his own flesh and blood when a
series of killings strike Chicago's magic practitioners in this novel in
the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Someone is targeting the members of the city's supernatural
underclass--those who don't possess enough power to become full-fledged
wizards. Some have vanished. Others appear to be victims of suicide. But
now the culprit has left a calling card at one of the crime scenes--a
message for Harry Dresden.
Harry sets out to find the apparent serial killer, but his investigation
turns up evidence pointing to the one suspect he cannot possibly believe
guilty: his half-brother, Thomas. To clear his brother's name, Harry
rushes into a supernatural power struggle that renders him outnumbered,
outclassed, and dangerously susceptible to temptation.
And Harry knows that if he screws this one up, people will die--and one
of them will be his brother...
