Proven Guilty
There's no love lost between Harry Dresden, the only wizard in the
Chicago phone book, and the White Council of Wizards, who find him
brash and undisciplined. But war with the vampires has thinned their
ranks, so the Council has drafted Harry as a Warden and assigned him to
look into rumors of black magic in the Windy City.
As Harry adjusts to his new role, another problem arrives in the form
of the tattooed and pierced daughter of an old friend, all grown-up and
already in trouble. Her boyfriend is the only suspect in what looks
like a supernatural assault straight out of a horror film. Malevolent
entities that feed on fear are loose in Chicago, but it's all in a
day's work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named
Bob...
