Wizard Harry Dresden must investigate his own flesh and blood when a series of killings strike Chicago’s magic practitioners in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Someone is targeting the members of the city’s supernatural underclass—those who don’t possess enough power to become full-fledged wizards. Some have vanished. Others appear to be victims of suicide. But now the culprit has left a calling card at one of the crime scenes—a message for Harry Dresden.

Harry sets out to find the apparent serial killer, but his investigation turns up evidence pointing to the one suspect he cannot possibly believe guilty: his half-brother, Thomas. To clear his brother’s name, Harry rushes into a supernatural power struggle that renders him outnumbered, outclassed, and dangerously susceptible to temptation.

And Harry knows that if he screws this one up, people will die—and one of them will be his brother...©2008 Roc; (P)2009 Penguin Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Mystery Private Investigators Detective Magic Users Magic Wizardry Paranormal

What the critics say

Praise for the Dresden Files

“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”—Midwest Book Review

“Superlative.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”—Cinescape

“Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”—Booklist (starred review)

“What’s not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”—SF Site

“A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”—Library Journal

“What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files].”—The Washington Times

Absolutely incredible!
White Night kept me guessing from start to finish. Just when you think you know where it's headed, Jim Butcher throws in another twist that leaves you reeling. As a long-time fan of The Dresden Files, it was so satisfying to see side characters like Thomas get more development—he really shines in this one, showing both his strength and vulnerability.

There’s the perfect mix of humor and intensity. You’ll laugh, you’ll hold your breath, and you won’t be able to put the book down. The mystery is tightly woven, the emotional stakes are high, and the fight scenes are some of Butcher’s best yet—visceral, cinematic, and gripping.

If you’ve made it this far in the series, White Night absolutely delivers. I can’t wait to dive into the next one!

one comes to accept a level of predictability with Dresden Files. for example, female vamps will be described from nipped to fangs in exquisite detail.
