Small Favor is the tenth book in The Dresden Files, Jim Butcher's continuing series about wizard detective Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Small Favor had a release date of April 1, 2008.

The cover art by illustrator Christian McGrath depicts Harry in the burning ruins of a building, holding a large handgun and his glowing staff. On Butcher's website, the first four chapters may be previewed. So far, one may surmise that this book contains faeries, Denarians (from the Hellfire), Chicago crime lord John Marcone, Knight of the Cross Michael Carpenter, and Harry's apprentice (and Michael's daughter) Molly Carpenter.

[edit] Plot summary

No one's tried to kill Harry Dresden for almost an entire year, and his life finally seems to be calming down. For once, the future looks fairly bright. But the past casts one hell of a long shadow.

An old bargain has placed Harry in debt to Mab, monarch of the Winter Court of the Sidhe, the Queen of Air and Darkness--and she's calling in her marker. It's a small favor he can't refuse...one that will trap Harry Dresden between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally, and one that will strain his skills--and loyalties--to their very limits.

It figures. Everything was going too well to last...
