As Chicago’s only professional wizard, Harry Dresden has had cases that have pitted him against insane necromancers, power-hungry faerie queens, enigmatic dark wizards, fallen angels–pretty much a „who’s who“ of hell and beyond–with the stakes in each case ranging from a lone human soul to the entire human race. But not every adventure Harry Dresden undertakes is an epic tale of life and death in a world on the edge of annihilation. Here, together for the first time in paperback, are the shorter works of #1New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher–a compendium of cases that Harry and his cadre of allies managed to close in record time.
