"Harry is a maverick, saving humanity in spite of mankind's ridicule."
The claw marks, footprint, and carnage look as if a
werewolf is on the loose even though most Second City
residents scoff at the notion of a shiftchanger. After
working with wizard Harry Dresden on a previous case,
Special Investigative Officer Karrin Murphy accepts that
the supernatural is real. She believes a werewolf
committed the killings. She turns to Harry as America's
only wizard to come out of the closet to help her on the
Chicago werewolf killings. However, Internal Affairs and
the local FBI want Murphy and Dresden kept out of the
investigation. The honorable Harry would love to walk away
and allow the humans to make a mess of things, but in good
conscience knows an "I told you so," means nothing.
Harry and Karrin track the werewolf to environmentalist
Harley MacFinn, but just because he is one doesn't
necessarily mean he is the killer. Perhaps his
shapechanging girlfriend or a teen group receiving special
tutoring on the finer points of lycanthropy 101 are the
culprits. As a dark side of a bruised Harry surfaces, he
struggles to survive a war not of his making.
Harry Dresden is a unique character in the urban fantasy
sub-genre. Harry is a maverick whose mouth seems to get him
in as much trouble as his actions. He is a smart know-it-
all, but cannot stop himself from saving humanity in spite
of mankind's ridicule. FOOL MOON is a fast-paced
fascinating noir thriller that keeps readers interest so
that the new fan will seek out the previous novel, STORM
FRONT and the old reader will re-peruse their copy.
