Blood Rites

For Harry Dresden, Chicago s only professional wizard, there have been worse assignments than going undercover on the set of an adult film. Dodging flaming monkey poo, for instance. Or going toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster. Still, there s something more troubling than usual about his newest case. The film s producer believes he s the target of a sinister entropy curse - but it s the woman around him who are dying, in increasingly spectacular ways. Harry s doubly frustrated because he got involved with this bizarre mystery only as a favour to Thomas, his flirtatious, self-absorbed vampire acquaintance of dubious integrity. Thomas has a personal stake in the case Harry can t quite figure out, until his investigation leads him straight to Thomas s oversexed vampire family. Harry s about to discover that Thomas s family tree has been hiding a shocking secret: a revelation that will change Harry s life forever.
