Chicago wizard Harry Dresden gets a taste of the dead life within this novel in the #1 NY Situations bestselling series.

In his life, Harry’s been shot, stabbed, sliced, beaten, burnt, crushed, and tortured. And after somebody puts a bullet through his chest and leaves him to expire in the waters of Lake Michigan, items really start heading downhill.

Trapped between life and death, he discovers that his friends are in serious trouble. Only by finding his murderer can he conserve his friends and move on-a feat which will be a great deal easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Even worse still will be the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, managed with a dark entity that desires Harry to suffer even in death.

Now, the late Harry Dresden must pull off the ultimate trick without needing any magic-or face an eternity as yet another lost soul…
