[White Night] [By: Butcher, Jim] [May, 2011]

Someone is hunting the members of Chicago's supernatural underclass, the practitioners who lack the power to be full wizards but nonetheless exist within the city's hidden magical ecosystem. The deaths look like suicides until one of them comes with a message for Harry Dresden specifically. When the trail of evidence points toward Thomas, Harry's half-brother, Dresden must decide whether to trust what the evidence says or trust what he knows about his family. Jim Butcher's ninth Dresden Files novel puts personal loyalty directly against professional necessity.

James Marsters has voiced Harry Dresden across the entire series, and his performance here carries the accumulated weight of eight previous novels' worth of history between Harry and Thomas. The supernatural politics of Chicago's various factions, witches, vampires, and the White Court, are rendered with the casual expertise of someone who has lived in this world for years. At just over fourteen hours, this is a strong entry in the series that uses its central relationship to maximum effect.
