Now in hardcover for the first time? book five in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series! Harry Dresden, Chicago?s only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad.

Some days, it just doesn?t pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you?re charging.
