    Harry Dresden is having a terrible week. As Chicago's only professional wizard-for-hire, he's used to skepticism about his Yellow Pages listing, but when Lieutenant Karrin Murphy calls him to a grisly crime scene, even his magical expertise is tested. Two people - mobster enforcer Tommy Tomm and escort Jennifer Stanton - lie dead in a hotel room, their hearts literally exploded from their chests during an intimate moment. The lingering scent of sulfur and ozone confirms Harry's worst fears: this is thaumaturgy - black magic requiring personal items from the victims to create a deadly magical connection. Someone collected hair, blood, or nail clippings from both victims, channeled intense hatred through a ritual, and literally blew their hearts out from a distance. As Harry examines the blood-spattered walls, he knows this isn't just murder - it's a violation of the fundamental laws of magic, punishable by death from the White Council of wizards. And somehow, he's about to become the prime suspect.
