Bob's skull is stolen by someone thought to be dead for five years: Harry's uncle Justin Morningway. Bob is offered freedom from the 800-year curse that has bound him to the skull, in return for his skills in thaumaturgy. Meanwhile the Chicago Police are reopening the case of Morningway's passing and it just might ruin the bond of trust between Harry and Murphy.
Ever since he was a boy, Harry Dresden, knew that monsters were real, just as he was able to make things happen simply with the force of his will. As he grew he began to learn of his magical heritage, given to him by his mother, and coveted by his Uncle, who would stop at nothing to possess it.
Now that he is grown Harry is the only private investigator / wizard in Chicago and listed in the phone book. He uses real magic to help him solve his cases, much to the chagrin of both the police and the magical establishment, whose shadow wars often spill into the 'real' world and involve people who have no idea just how magical, and dark, the world can be.
