Life with no action is the demand of the poor wizard of Chicago who has become tried with constant action in life. After all it is not a wizard’s job to save the world all the time and put his life at stake all the time. There was a time when he had passion in life in the form of lovely Susan but after her disappearance life has become slow and sad for him.
He has looked everywhere for her but she is nowhere to be found. Engaging in other affairs of the city is also not a good idea these days for the wizard because the police are receiving headless bodies on the crime scenes. Dresden has other worries intact i.e there are forces that want to get rid of him forever because he is not needed in the world anymore. Also he is a threat to those sitting at high posts in the Red Court. Shroud of Turin has vanished and no news has yet come about its investigation.
Thus in this entire disturbance Harry Dresden decides that he should vanish for some time. Jim Butcher pulls his main character back to the story when he introduces Susan once again in the series. Personal issues were ignored in Storm Front and Fool Moon here the personal relation with Susan brings Harry back in the game.
He just cannot accept the fact that Susan has found a new boyfriend and there is no place for him in her life anymore. An investigation is needed for which Harry is ready to use all the magic there is in the world. James Marsters’ voice matches with Harry’s character very well and the fans have voted for him to continue in the next parts too.
