Skin Game
by Jim Butcher
I didn't like this one at first, but it grew on me as the story progressed. It's book eleventy-something of The Dresden Files and began with a lot of references to past adventures—people and events I had either forgotten or only hazily recalled. The scenario is that Harry Dresden, the wizard who is currently the Winter Knight sworn to serve the Faerie Queen Mab, has been lent out to an archdemon to help him rob the vault of Hades. Strike two. Harry Dresden has never been a paragon of virtue, but the thought of him making even more compromises with the forces of evil was unpleasant. However, Mr. Butcher managed to surprise me and pull a number of light moments into a dark situation.
Check it out.
