Summary
The new novel in the New York Times best-selling Dresden Files series.
No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.
An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness - and she's calling in her marker. It's a small favor he can't refuse, one that will trap Harry Dresden between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and one that will strain his skills-and loyalties-to their very limits.
It figures. Everything was going too well to last....

Critic reviews
“Superlative.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
“Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.” (Booklist, starred review)
“A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.” (Library Journal)

Love this series!
Great narration and great character development over the series.
Some odd pronunciations but maybe it’s an American thing, I’m hooked!

Enjoyed this
As with most of the preceding books in this series, I enjoyed this. There were a few surprises and interesting plot developments, and the last couple of hours had be on tenter books. As always, James Marsters performed superbly as narrator. I look forward to the next book and am very interested to see what transpires next!

Another great Dresden book
I 'm really enjoying these books, and each one is a welcome return to the world. This one was as good as any of the others, however there seemed to be a couple of issues with the recording. dialogue was missing, the recording jumped and in one case a line was repeated. It wasn't enough to spoil my enjoyment, all the same I hope it doesn't happen with the next few books. I would highly recommend this series.

Dresden just keeps getting better
This series never disappoints. Harry is a wonderful character, always pitting himself against heavy hitters- criminal, magical or demonic - determinedly standing up for those who need his help, regardless of the pain and injuries he suffers in the process. It’s not grim, though, I often find my self chuckling as I am walking along, listening.
In this story Harry is forced to rescue someone he despises, has to battle the fiercely powerful Denarians alongside the Knights of the Cross, and pursues the abductors and abusers of a little girl. No-one gets out unscathed ...
James Masters performance is outstanding. If you enjoy his voice try some of the plays available on Audible, such as Macbeth or The Importance of Being Earnest - to go from one end of the dramatic spectrum to the other.
If you have not listened to any of the Dresden Files before, I do recommend listening to the series in order, otherwise you will miss some of the nuances of relationships which have built up over time, and the maturing of Harry’s character as he learns and grows through tough experiences.
