An all-new Dresden Files story headlines this urban
fantasy short story collection starring the Windy City's
favorite wizard.
The world of Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional
wizard, is rife with intrigue—and creatures of all
supernatural stripes. And you'll make their intimate
acquaintance as Harry delves into the dark side of truth,
justice, and the American way in this must-have short story
collection.
From the Wild West to the bleachers at Wrigley Field,
humans, zombies, incubi, and even fey royalty appear, ready
to blur the line between friend and foe. In the
never-before-published "Zoo Day," Harry treads new ground as
a dad, while fan-favorite characters Molly Carpenter, his
onetime apprentice, White Council Warden Anastasia Luccio,
and even Bigfoot stalk through the pages of more classic tales.
With twelve stories in all, Brief Cases offers both
longtime fans and first-time readers tantalizing glimpses
into Harry's funny, gritty, and unforgettable realm,
whetting their appetites for more to come from the wizard
with a heart of gold.
