Wizard by Trade (2-in-1)

Wizard by Trade (2-in-1)

For Harry Dresden—the only wizard listed in the Chicago phone book—when it rains, it pours. In fact, it pours toads—always a sign something bad is about to happen. But Harry takes such omens in stride, given that his rattletrap VW Bug needs constant upkeep, and his 30-pound guard-cat wants regular meals. But armed with Bob, a wisecracking skull full of occult lore, Harry takes on supernatural forces galore. For a fee. Never mind that they're usually out to get him first.

In Summer Knight, no sooner has Harry escaped the Red Court vampires—where he's managed to spark a war between vampires and wizards—when into his shabby office walks none other than Mab, luscious Faerie Queen of Winter. Her assignment? Find the killer of her crony, the Summer Knight, and clear her as a suspect. Not a problem. But first he has to survive his fellow wizards—and their zeal to hand him over to the Red Court to seal the peace.

In Death Masks, Harry is still stuck in Red Court crosshairs and finds himself challenged by Count Ortega to a duel guaranteeing the war's end—right on the dais of Chicago's most-watched talk show! What a shame Harry's magic blows up the studio's equipment, allowing him to escape. But not before another guest—Vatican antiquities expert Father Vincent—hires him to find a stolen Church artifact…and a lethal trophy in the hands of evil: the Shroud of Turin.
