The Dresden Files

A grieving father asks Harry to help put his daughters spirit to rest. This should be easy. All Dresden has to do is track down the killer and make sure that justice has been done. Theres only one catch: the killer died only hours after the murder.

A beautiful young woman asks Harry to help her recover some stolen money. Before long, Dresden discovers a connection between this case and a dark, supernatural evil, and that his lovely client has been hiding something.

An otherwise healthy man experiencing premonitions of his own demise seeks Harrys help but ends up croaking right in his office. As the dark circumstances surrounding his death are revealed, Harry finds himself in the crosshairs of a dangerous magic-user; meanwhile, the crime that got Bob condemned to living in his own skull for all eternity finally comes to light.

We are introduced to Harry Dresden, private detective and practicing wizard. When he tries to help the Chicago Police Department solve a grisly murder, he finds himself the target of a homicidal magician. And as if that isnt bad enough, the High Council of wizards begins to think that he is falling to the dark side, so he must elude them as well. Now he must stop the murderer and clear his name before his time runs out.

Things seem to be going well between Harry and his new flame until she walks out on him... and takes Bobs skull. Now Dresden must find Bob and rescue him from the clutches of an old enemy. But will Bob want to be rescued?

Dresden and Murphy must work together to solve the mystery of a former gang member who drowns on dry land, miles from the nearest lake. Meanwhile, Murphys father is in town, and he doesnt have a very high opinion of his daughters freelance consultant.
