** spoiler alert ** 
 Harry Dresden finds himself between a rock and a hard place once again. He makes a deal with a faerie queen to do three tasks so he'll be free. While he's supposed to be able to choose, he's forced to do as she wishes, or else the White Council (wizards) will turn him over to the Red Court (vampires). He has to figure out who killed the Summer Knight, why, and stop the person from achieving his or her goals if he wants to stay a wizard . . . and stay alive. 
 His friends, the Alphas, help him out, as does Det. Karin Murphy, though she's still fighting her own demons from the last time. His first love, and betrayer, shows up, too. 
 Still a fun series. Lots of things happening in a little amount of time.
