The Dresden Files is an urban fantasy series spotlighting the talents of Chicago's only modern-day wizard - at least the only one listed in the Chicago yellow pages under "wizard".
Harry Dresden works out of a shabby office (think the Maltese Falcon) earning a meager living as a detective specializing in paranormal investigations. On his office door is a sign reading "Harry Dresden - Wizard, Lost items found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment." Not many clients knock at his door, but when they do, Harry usually ends up in mortal danger which he faces with not a small touch of sarcasm.

A word to the wise: It's a good idea to read The Dresden Files in order if you wish to keep track of the characters and plot twists.

Books in the series - all of which are available for Kindle readers - include:


Storm Front.
"Harry Dresden is the best at what he does...There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get... interesting." - Amazon.

Fool Moon.
"A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses — and the first two don't count..." Jim Butcher's website.

Grave Peril.
"...a haunting, fantastical novel that begins almost as innocently as those of another famous literary wizard named Harry. In the opening scene, Dresden and his knight friend, Michael, battle the ghost of a woman who is terrorizing a local hospital's maternity ward. From there, the novel quickly evolves into an unorthodox tale spiced with sexual innuendo and subtle humor..." - Publishers Weekly.

Summer Knight.
"Private detective/wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is suckered into tangling in the affairs of Faerie, where the fate of the entire world--and his soul--are at stake." - Amazon.

Death Masks.
"Harry Dresden is not having a good day. A vampire named Ortega is hunting the beleaguered wizard, intending to challenge him to a duel that, Ortega claims, will end the war between the vampires and the wizards. Harry has almost no hope of winning the duel, but soon he is preoccupied by another problem: Father Vincent, a priest, needs Harry's help in finding the Shroud of Turin, stolen by a trio of thieves. Harry traces two of the thieves to his hometown, Chicago, but when he finds them, he learns that he isn't the only one after them." - Booklist.

Blood Rites.
"Per usual, wizard-detective extraordinaire Harry Dresden is in trouble. He barely escapes an assassination attempt...when Thomas, a vampire who has helped Harry out on occasion, asks him to take a case. It seems someone doesn't want porno film director Arturo Genosa's latest effort to get off the ground. An entropy spell has killed two of Arturo's assistants, and Thomas wants Harry to find the culprit. With suspects abounding--Arturo has no fewer than three ex-wives--Harry decides to pose as a production assistant at the studio." - Booklist.

Dead Beat.
"Harry Dresden must save Chicago from black magic and necromancy -- but first, he must locate the Word of Kemmler. Just as soon as he figures out what that is. It's all in a day's work for the city's only professional wizard ... assuming he can live to see the end of the day." - Jim Butcher's web site.

Proven Guilty.
"Harry Dresden, Chicago's only consulting wizard, takes on phobophages, creatures that feed on fear who attack a horror film convention, in the diverting eighth installment of Butcher's increasingly complicated Dresden Files series (Dead Beat, etc.). Harry finds that fighting monsters is only the prelude to maneuvers amid the warring wizards of the White Council and the vampire Red Court." - Publishers Weekly."

White Night.
"Hardboiled wizard detective Harry Dresden learns that someone is killing Chicago's minor wizards. Joined by his police friend, Sergeant Murphy, and his Amazonian apprentice, Molly Carpenter, Harry discovers that his brother, Thomas, is a prime suspect." - Publishers Weekly.

Small Favor.
"Intricate yet accessible plotting and near-Arctic winter weather mark the 10th Harry Dresden adventure from bestseller Butcher... A friendly snowball fight opens the Chicago-based wizard-detective's latest tale, but it's not long before a host of more dangerous foes are out for Harry's blood. A missing human mobster is said to be seeking greater influence among Chicago's extranormal population, but the true threat proves both more subtle and of much greater consequence. Butcher smoothly manages a sizable cast of allies and adversaries, doles out needed backstory with crisp efficiency and sustains just the right balance of hair's-breadth tension and comic relief." - Publishers Weekly.

Turn Coat.
"Once just Chicago’s only wizard PI, Harry is now a warden of the White Council of Wizards - that is, one of the enforcers of its rules - and it seems as though every time he gets a better grasp on his magical strength, his enemies worsen. When the 'parole officer' of Harry’s youth, Morgan, grievously injured and pursued by the wardens, comes to Harry for help, it’s the opening salvo of serious confrontation with the council. Morgan stands accused of killing senior council member LaFortier. The murder was certainly an inside job, and time is short to find the real killer before Morgan is summarily executed...Fortunately, Harry’s sense of humor lightens the tone of even the most serious confrontation..." - Regina Schroeder for Booklist.

Changes.
"Long ago, Susan Rodriguez was Harry Dresden's lover - until she was attacked by his enemies, leaving her torn between her own humanity and the bloodlust of the vampiric Red Court. Susan then disappeared to South America, where she could fight both her savage gift and those who cursed her with it. Now Arianna Ortega, Duchess of the Red Court, has discovered a secret Susan has long kept, and she plans to use it - against Harry. To prevail this time, he may have no choice but to embrace the raging fury of his own untapped dark power. Because Harry's not fighting to save the world... He's fighting to save his child." - Amazon.

In 2007, The Dresden Files, the television series, aired for one season on the Sci Fi Channel. For more information about Jim Butcher and his novels visit his web site.
