Grave Peril by Jim Butcher, Fantasy, 378 pages.
The Dresden Files, vol. 3.
This third book in this series finds Harry, Chicago's most prominent wizard and member of the White Council, battling a malevolent spirit that is bent on destroying everyone he cares about. In his efforts to discover how to destroy the spirit, Harry must also battle angry vampires and other denizens of the spirit world. The Dresden series books are quite popular, and the audio series is very well read by James Marsters (Spike in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but I don't find myself becoming a big fan. In the couple of Dresden books I have read, Harry always seems to be faced by unbeatable odds that he then defeats at the very last second, thanks to some rather clumsy plot device, or previously unexplained magical rule.
