An all-new Dresden Files story headlines this urban fantasy short story collection starring the Windy Cityโs favorite wizard.
The world of Harry Dresden, Chicagoโs only professional wizard, is rife with intrigueโand creatures of all supernatural stripes. And youโll make their intimate acquaintance as Harry delves into the dark side of truth, justice, and the American way in this must-have short story collection.
From the Wild West to the bleachers at Wrigley Field, humans, zombies, incubi, and even fey royalty appear, ready to blur the line between friend and foe. In the never-before-published โZoo Day,โ Harry treads new ground as a dad, while fan-favorite characters Molly Carpenter, his onetime apprentice, White Council Warden Anastasia Luccio, and even Bigfoot stalk through the pages of more classic tales.
With twelve stories in all, Brief Cases offers both longtime fans and first-time readers tantalizing glimpses into Harryโs funny, gritty, and unforgettable realm, whetting their appetites for more to come from the wizard with a heart of gold.
