THE DRESDEN FILES 8: PROVEN GUILTY PB – JIM BUTCHER

Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago s first (and only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the everyday world is full of strange and magical things – and most of them don t play well with humans. That s where Harry comes in. Harry has no friends on the White Council of Wizards, who find him brash and undisciplined (and they may have a point). However, now vampire wars have thinned out the wizards a little, they need him. So before he can blink, he s assigned to investigate rumours of black magic. Harry s other problem is an old friend s daughter – all grown-up and in trouble already. Her boyfriend insists he s innocent of something resembling a crime straight out of a horror film. This first impression turns out to be . . . well, pretty accurate, as Harry discovers malevolent entities feeding on fear. All in a day s work for a wizard, his dog, and a talking skull named Bob. Magic – it can get a guy killed.
