Series: Dresden Files #5

Harry Dresden, a professional wizard, is hired by a rather questionable character in hopes of finding the Shroud of Turin, which has found its way to Dresden’s hometown of Chicago. For some unknown reason, the head of Chicago’s version of the mafia is determined to get his hands on this artifact but not before Harry must deal with fallen angels in human hosts.

The war is still going on between the White Council and the Red Court, and Harry must find a second for his upcoming dual and though Michael is his first choice, new characters (Shiro and the Archive) come to his aid and Harry realizes what others are willing to sacrifice to keep him safe.

This book was a turning point for me. The previous four were a take it or leave it series for me, but now I am wondering if I should go back, reread, and reappreciate what Jim Butcher is building.
