Halloween in Chicago is already wild—but this year, Harry Dresden might not survive it. When a blackmailing vampire forces him into a deadly scavenger hunt for the mysterious Word of Kemmler, Harry’s left chasing clues through a city crawling with necromancers, corpses, and things that really shouldn’t walk after midnight.
Armed with sarcasm, a staff, and a dangerously thin plan, Chicago’s only wizard-for-hire has to stop six power-hungry sorcerers before they turn the city into their personal graveyard. But as the bodies pile up, the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur.
If he fails, the dead won’t stay dead—and the living won’t stand a chance.
Halloween’s coming early, and Harry’s about to raise more than a little hell.
