The search for a traitor in the highest circles of power forms the main plot thread of Butcher's 11th hard-boiled fantasy novel featuring Chicago's wizard detective Harry Dresden. Harry, a warden of the magic-governing White Council, finds himself in an unusual position when Morgan, his fellow warden and frequent antagonist, asks for his help. One of the White Council's leaders has been murdered, and Morgan was found at the scene of the crime holding the murder weapon. If he has been framed, then another senior wizard is behind the killing and may be trying to destroy the council entirely. Aided by werewolf and vampire allies, Dresden investigates . The 11th Dresden Files books is as unputdownable as the previous 10 books and a prime candidate for the WOW list. The usual Harry save the day plot is is only a small part of the big story of Harry v. the Black Council. At the end the book Harry finally is not alone in his belief that such group exist. His old mentor Wizard Mccoy is on his side. (Crossing fingers that at the end McCoy will not be revealed as one of the black wizards. On the other hand it seems that Harry lost his vampire half brother Thomas to the White Court. But from Thomas grinning when Harry used magic to jam Thomas's bodyguard's radio I suspect that Thomas was only putting up an act and that he didn't really change. Looking forward to reading book 12 and getting book 13 :)
