His name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. You can cast spells with that name—he's not responsible for the consequences. When things take a strange turn, when what should be hidden in the shadows crawls into the light, when no one else can help you, call... Who? Him, Harry Dresden. His name is in the Yellow Pages... Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness, is back in the black. For a debt owed to Dresden, her Winter Knight, she's hired him out to Nicodemus Archleon, head of the Order of the Dark Denarius, which has gathered into its ranks those who have allied with the Fallen Angels, creatures cursed by God. The goal of Nicodemus's planned theft of the century, which Dresden has been drawn into, is none other than the legendary Holy Grail. But to steal it, you have to penetrate the treasury of Hades, the ruler of the Underworld—well, what an adventure befalls Harry Dresden, a professional sorcerer ("Foul Play"). The stories in the collection "The Rules of Witchcraft" feature the American Wild West with its zombies and necromancers, a kindly Bigfoot named River Shoulders, whose half-human, half-Bigfoot son was drained of energy by vampires, and Chicago's Wrigley Stadium, cursed by a goat curse cast upon it by angry Tilwyth Tags. There's much more, too, some magical, some not so magical, some serious, some funny. And what unites this entire fantastical medley is, of course, Harry Dresden, a sorcerer with a heart of gold, just and merciful ("The Rules of Witchcraft"). The Harry Dresden series of novels ranks alongside such renowned examples of fantasy detective fiction as Glen Cook's Garrett series.
