About the book

Grave Peril is a 2001 urban fantasy and the third Dresden Files novel, starring Harry Dresden, the only professional wizard working in present-day Chicago. After a ghost hunt alongside the Knight of the Cross Michael Carpenter goes badly, Harry is invited to attend a Red Court vampire party as an emissary of the White Council.
