Synopsis

Harry Dresden, professional wizard, has done his best to keep his nose clean where the White Council of Wizards is concerned. Even so, his past misdeeds have cast a constant shadow of suspicion over him in the eyes of the Wardens, those wizards responsible for enforcing the Laws of Magic. Now Dresden finds himself faced with a nightmarish dilemma: Morgan, formerly his chief persecutor among the Wardens, has been wrongly accused of treason against the White Council - and has come to Harry for help. Dresden faces a daunting task: clear Morgan's name while simultaneously hiding him from the Wardens and the supernatural bounty hunters sent to find him, discover the identity of the true turncoat and, of course, avoid accusations of treachery of his own. A single mistake may mean that heads - quite literally - will roll. And one of them could be his own ...

Review

O.K. so Jim Butcher just happens to be the author of my favourite series of books - The Dresden Files! The are irreverent, action packed, twisty, intimate and best of all, Jim doesn't waffle on and get in to the minor details! Thank goodness! Oh, sorry, that isn't the best bit - Harry Dresden is! He's smart, sexy, geeky, bumbling, funny and I want him for myself - Please!

Jim Butcher has a vivid imagination and he uses it in full technicolour glory in Turn Coat. You get to see a shift in the interactions between well established characters with the progression being subtle for some and really not so for others.

Dresdens arch nemesis Warden Morgan comes to Harry Dresden when he is falsely accused of murder. Morgan figures this is the last place the White Council will come looking for him. Lots of plot twists and action/adventure ensues.

I can't wait for my next fix of Harry Dresden and his magical antics.
