Dresden's been on the outs with Murphy after the events of the last book, but she calls him in on a case. There have been several brutal murders, and it looks like the culprit must be a werewolf.

There are several kinds of werewolf, though, each with its own dangers. And every sort of werewolf, inconveniently, is hanging around the city, looking suspicious, so it's not clear which--if any--of them is responsible for the murders.

By the time Dresden is through, he'll have faced all the wolves, allied with some, had a demon tease him with a secret from his past, resolved some inner conflicts, been arrested, shot, bitten, beaten, and more.

This book is an improvement on its predecessor in all respects, and I look forward to further improvement as the series goes along.
