As a great British comedy show once said: "... death isn't the handicap it used to be in the olden days. It doesn't screw your career up like it used to." But it can most definitely put a crimp in your style. Harry Dresden, Chicago's premier wizard, is not exactly operating at peak efficiency, his body was lost in Lake Michigan after having been shot with a high powered rifle. When he wakes up, which in itself is the first thing that's not quite right, he's informed that being dead is no excuse for slacking off.

Product Description: When we last left the mighty wizard detective Harry Dresden, he wasn't doing well. In fact, he had been murdered by an unknown assassin.

But being dead doesn't stop him when his friends are in danger. Except now he has nobody, and no magic to help him. And there are also several dark spirits roaming the Chicago shadows who owe Harry some payback of their own.

To save his friends-and his own soul-Harry will have to pull off the ultimate trick without any magic...
