From the book description :- A series of apparent suicides rings alarm bells with the police. And before he knows it Harry Dresden, professional wizard, is hired to investigate. At the first crime scene he finds an unmistakable magical taint - and a message specially designed for him, referencing the killing of witches. Harry is desperate to hunt down his tormentor and halt the killings, but instead finds evidence implicating his half-brother, Thomas. To Harry, this just doesn't add up, so he must add clearing his brother's name to his expanding list. Something that didn't make the list is subtlety, and Harry's search attracts the attention of the White Court of vampires ...Soon, whichever way he turns, he faces a power struggle that will render him outnumbered, outclassed and dangerously susceptible to temptation. And if he screws up, his friends will die.
Harry is called out to an apparent suicide, apparent that is, until he finds a message hidden in the victim's apartment, a message that only a Wizard could find. He begins to investigate and soon discovers a mysterious grey cloaked figure (much like a Warden) apears to be abducting women with magical talent. He also discovers a trail of similar deaths across the USA. He is also unable to contact Thomas and upon investigation finds evidence linking Thomas to the dead girls, and worse, to those who have been abducted. What is going on ? Is Thomas feeding on the missing women ? Harry has also taken on Molly (Michael's daughter) as an apprentice and she keeps popping up at all the worse moments and Harry is starting to get very angry about it !
Yes another thoroughly enjoyable and thrilling installment of The Dresden Files.
