Grave Peril by Jim Butcher

Grave Peril (Dresden Files, #3) ('Dark' Carpathian)

by Jim Butcher

Wizard for hire Harry Dresden gets mixed-up with the dead in this “haunting, fantastical novel”(Publishers Weekly) in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Harry Dresden’s faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career. Giant scorpions. Oversexed vampires. Psychotic werewolves. It comes with the territory, when you’re the only professional wizard in the Chicago area phone book.

But in all Harry’s years of supernatural sleuthing, he’s never faced anything like this: the spirit world’s gone postal. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble—and not just of the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly. Someone—or something—is purposely stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc. But why? And why do so many of the victims have ties to Harry? If Harry doesn’t figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself...

Wow. A ton of people still trying to kill my new favorite PI, but in the end, he still makes it through. A little more bruised (both physically and emotionally), but he's alive and kicking at the end of Grave Peril.

I'm excited to see where this story goes in Summer Knight.
