In his life, Harry's been shot, stabbed, sliced, beaten, burned, crushed, and tortured. And after someone puts a bullet through his ehest and leaves him to die in the waters of Lake Michigan, things really start going downhill.
But even trapped in the realm between life and death, Harry can't catch a break. He learns that three of his friends are destined to experi-ence unbearable torment and agony. Only by bringing his murderer to justice can he save his friends and move on to what comes next— a feat that would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Instead, Harry must work as a ghost, unable to interact with the physical world, invisible and inaudible to almost everyone.
Unfortunately he's not the only specter roam-ing Chicago. There are malevolent shadows who haven't forgotten Harry's predilection for putting evil in its place while he was alive.

And now that Harry's on their turf, they are looking for some serious payback.
So the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic—or face an eternity as just another lost soul.
