The Dresden file series recounts the adventures of Harry Dresden, the only mage of modern Chicago, detective of the normal and para-normal. This series of  detective stories combines  elements of Harry-Potteresque magic and humour with elements of the fantastic but embeded with a realism that is astonishing. You will not be able to put the books down and they get better and better as the series evolves. And you can bet that the soon to be released 16th entry  will not disappoint.
