Death Masks:Dresden Files #05 Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Review:

"Butcher maintains a breakneck pace in Harry's exciting fifth adventure. This imaginative series continues to surprise and delight with its inventiveness and sympathetic hero." Booklist

Review:

"Butcher is going from strength to strength in this excellent series. Death Masks is his most assured book yet, a smooth melding of inventive storylines, dark supernatural themes, edge-of-your-seat adventure, strong characterizations, and irreverent humor." Victoria Strauss, SFSite.com

Review:

"[I]f you've enjoyed previous books in the series, you'll want to read this one, too. So will anyone who likes the idea of a detective battling the supernatural in an otherwise realistic modern setting. Butcher is out to entertain and you can be sure most of Dresden's enemies will soon be after him again." Rambles.net

About the Author

A martial arts enthusiast whose resume includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives with his wife, son, and ferocious guard dog.
