About this ebook
Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day. As Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it's something awful.
This time, it's worse than that. Mab's involved Harry in a smash-and-grab heist run by one of his most despised enemies to recover the literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure horde in the world - which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
Dresden's always been tricky, but he's going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess - assuming his own allies don't end up killing him before his enemies get the chance . . .

I bought this in dead tree but the recommendation holds. Mr. Butcher made me curse his name, cry and in one spot I laughed hysterically along with the character. He tells a great story and that is why I continue to read his books.

Couldn't say if it was better than all the others but it was certainly as good as all the others. Another brilliant Dresden adventure. Thoroughly enjoyable. Totally gutted that I've finished reading it already!

An avid gamer, Jim plays tabletop games in varying systems, a variety of video games and LARPs whenever he can make time for it. He currently resides mostly inside his own head, but his head can generally be found in his home town of Independence, Missouri.
