Wizard For Hire

There's a wizard listed in the Chicago Yellow Pages, and the monsters really wish there wasn't. 📖 Get the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593335155?....

It starts with Storm Front, where we meet Harry Dresden, the only openly practicing wizard in Chicago, working as a private investigator and consulting for the police on the cases that have no rational explanation. What Butcher does so well is take the noir detective template, the rain-soaked streets and the wisecracks and the trouble that walks through the door, and run real, dangerous magic straight through the middle of it. It had to become a song because Harry himself is basically a rock anthem in a battered leather coat: stubborn, broke, outgunned, and completely unwilling to let the dark win. This track is a portrait of Harry across the whole saga. The fire he throws with a shouted Fuego and the unseen force he hurls with Forzare. The wisecracking skull named Bob who hoards every secret down in his lab. Karrin Murphy holding the line beside him, and Butters going from a nervous medical examiner to something far braver than he ever believed he could be. It is about a man who keeps breaking the rules of the White Council for the simplest reason there is, because somebody needed help and he was the one who picked up the phone.
