In this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files Chicago's only professional
wizard takes on a case for a vampire and becomes the prime suspect in a series of ghastly
murders. Harry Dresden has had worse assignments than going undercover on the set of an adult
film. Like fleeing a burning building full of enraged demon-monkeys for instance. Or going
toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster. Still there's something more troubling than usual
about his newest case. The film's producer believes he's the target of a sinister curse-but
it's the women around him who are dying in increasingly spectacular ways. Harry's doubly
frustrated because he only got involved with this bizarre mystery as a favor to Thomas-his
flirtatious self-absorbed vampire acquaintance of dubious integrity. Thomas has a personal
stake in the case Harry can't quite figure out until his investigation leads him straight to
the vampire's oversexed bite-happy family. Now Harry's about to discover that Thomas' family
tree has been hiding a shocking secret: a revelation that will change Harry's life forever.
