Storm Front by Jim Butcher


This book was a fun read. Harry Dresden is hired by the police to investigate whether magic was used to violently murder a hooker and a mob enforcer during a night of love making. During the course of a few days, Harry is ordered off the case by a mob boss, confronts a vampire and must deal with his overzealous watcher, who by the way thinks that Harry is the killer.

At the same time, Harry is working on a second case involving a wife's missing husband.

Jim Butcher creatively combined classic PI detective and fantasy. I'm normally a slow reader, but the story was so entertaining, I found that I had a hard time putting Storm Front down.
