Available in: Paperback
When the Knight of Summer is mysteriously murdered, the Faery Courts teeter to the brink of war. Forced to involve himself in the Faery affairs by an old debt, wizard Harry Dresden must find the party responsible and bring it to justice--before a catastrophic conflict between the Courts of Summer and Winter result in the devastation of Chicago.
Jim Butcher is a ten-year-plus student of martial arts and a skilled rider who has performed as a summer camp horse wrangler and in front of large audiences in both drill riding and stunt riding exhibitions. He also enjoys fencing, singing, songwriting, and live- action gaming. He works as a computer support technician, although he has held a variety of jobs in the past, from fast-food management to door-to-door vacuum selling. Jim lives in Missouri with his wife, son, and a houseful of computers.
In Jim's own words, his first attempt at a novel  when he was just 19  'was horrible. Really bad.' Fortunately for his many fans, he kept learning, and writing, until he could bring Harry's not-quite-Chicago to technicolor life.
All that practice obviously paid off  in addition to Harry Dresden's continuing adventures, Jim's first hardcover fantasy series, FURIES OF CALDERON "Codex Alera, Book 1", was published in October 2004.
