It has been a while since I had read anything about Harry Dresden, wizard for hire. Turn Coat is the 11th book in The Dresden Files series that's seen Harry go from a lowly wizard working as a private investigator to being a Warden, one of the wizard elite. And though there have been highs and lows for me throughout the series, Butcher continues to provide fun, inventive plots for Harry to unravel.
In Turn Coat, Morgan, one of the Wardens of the White Council who has provided endless trouble for Dresden, shows up at his front door and asks for help. Yes folks, it starts with a bang. For those who know, there's no love lost between Harry and Morgan. The older Warden's distrust for Harry has caused more than a few issues in the past, and now Morgan is being framed for the murder of a member of the White Council - the ruling body of wizards.
Does Harry just turn him in like he should have? Nope. As always, he takes the most difficult road and decides to help prove Morgan's innocence. Of course, that turns out to be more difficult than it sounds. Over the course of the book, the White Court of vampires becomes involved as well as a Skinwalker (nasty supernatural critter from Native American myths). Harry calls on the help of Toot Toot (a faerie) and his friends, Georgia and Billy and their pack of werewolves, Detective Murphy, his brother Thomas (a White Court vampire), and many others.
Butcher has once again knocked one out of the park with Turn Coat, and I couldn't stop reading. It took me a couple of days to blow through the book. I found myself depressed at the end, not that the story was resolved, but that I didn't have more to read...
