Kan en varulv være løs i Chicago? Sund fornuft siger nej. De uhyggelige beviser siger ja. Det gør Harry Dresden også. Og med sine mærkeligeforbindelser burde han vide det. Mød Harry Dresden, Chicagos første (og eneste) troldmand og privatdetektiv. På det seneste har alt været stille for Harry Dresden. Man skulle ellers tro, at Chicago ville have lidt mere action for den eneste professionelle troldmandsdetektiv i telefonbogen. Men Harry har ikke været i stand til at finde nogen form for arbejde - magisk eller ej. Lige da det ser ud til, at hanikke har råd til sit næste måltid, sker der et mord, som kræver hans særlige, overnaturlige ekspertise. Et brutalt lemlæstet lig. Mærkeligt udseende poteaftryk. En fuldmåne. Gæt tre gange. Og de to første tæller ikke...Magi - det kan få en fyr dræbt. Dresden-Files er en New York Times bestseller-serie. Forfatteren Jim Butcher er blevet nomineret til flere forskellige priser for sine bøger. Heriblandt en Hugo Award for bedste roman.

Jim Butcher
Jim Butcher is a martial arts enthusiast with fifteen years of experience in various styles including Ryukyu Kempo, Tae Kwan Do, Gojo Shorei Ryu, and a sprinkling of Kung Fu. He is a skilled rider and has worked as a summer camp horse wrangler and performed in front of large audiences in both drill riding and stunt riding exhibitions. Jim enjoys fencing, singing, bad science fiction movies and live-action gaming. He lives in Missouri with his wife, son, and a vicious guard dog. Jim goes by the moniker Longshot in a number of online locales. He came by this name in the early 1990's when he decided he would become a published author. Usually only 3 in 1000 who make such an attempt actually manage to become published; of those, only 1 in 10 make enough money to call it a living. The sale of a second series was the breakthrough that let him beat the long odds against attaining a career as a novelist. All the same, he refuses to change his nickname.
