Harry Dresden must save Chicago from black magic and necromancy -- but first, he must locate the Word of Kemmler. Just as soon as he figures out what that is. It's all in a day's work for the city's only professional wizard ... assuming he can live to see the end of the day.

The cover art by illustrator Christian McGrath depicts Harry walking down a snowy street with his glowing staff. On Butcher's website, the first 3 chapters may be previewed.
