Dresden Files, Fool Moon

Fallen sie einem Psychopathen zum Opfer? Einer Gang? Oder etwas ganz anderem? Harry Dresden, Privatermittler mit besonderen Fähigkeiten und Polizeiinformant wider Willen, wird schneller, als ihm lieb ist, in diesen dunklen Fall verwickelt.

  "One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves,"(Cinescape) the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and nonstop fun. Fool Moon continues the adventures of Jim Butcher's most famous-and infamous-reluctant hero…

  You'd think there'd be a little more action for the only professional wizard listed in the Chicago phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical, mundane, or menial.

  Just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise. There's a brutally mutilated corpse, and monstrous animal markings at the scene. Not to mention that the killing took place on the night of a full moon. Harry knows exactly where this case is headed. Take three guesses-and the first two don't count...
