A series of apparent suicides rings alarm bells with the police. And before he knows it Harry Dresden, professional wizard, is hired to investigate. At the first crime scene he finds an unmistakable magical taint - and a message specially designed for him, referencing the killing of witches. Harry is desperate to hunt down his tormentor and halt the killings, but instead finds evidence implicating his half-brother, Thomas. To Harry, this just doesn't add up, so he must add clearing his brother's name to his expanding list. Something that didn't make the list is subtlety, and Harry's search attracts the attention of the White Court of vampires ...Soon, whichever way he turns, he faces a power struggle that will render him outnumbered, outclassed and dangerously susceptible to temptation. And if he screws up, his friends will die.
Review
White Night brings back foes from much earlier editions in the Dresden Files series and you get to see 'normal' people practising the art of magic, which is nice.
This story was slightly slower paced than the previous books, but it still lets you enjoy the scenery a little more. Harry is his usual 'witty' self and manages to somehow heap far more trouble upon himself than he can really deal with! His brother Thomas also features highly too as we learn more about his past.
All in all an enjoyable bit of brain candy.
