Harry has been given the task of finding his own killer. Harry has been through a lot but this may be his biggest challenge yet. This is the thirteenth book in The Dresden Files series which does need to be read in order.

This book answered a lot of my questions and left me asking new ones. Harry was in a very bad spot and I have to admit that I was a little worried about him. After the way the previous book ended, I was eager to dive into this book. This was great! This was a re-read for me and I am finding that I am enjoying all of these books, even more, the second time around. Now, the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic-or face an eternity as just another lost soul. Worse still are the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, controlled by a dark entity that wants Harry to suffer even in death. Only by finding his murderer can he save his friends and move on-a feat which would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Trapped between life and death, he learns that his friends are in serious trouble.

And after someone puts a bullet through his chest and leaves him to die in the waters of Lake Michigan, things really start going downhill. In his life, Harry's been shot, stabbed, sliced, beaten, burned, crushed, and tortured.
