Storm Front [Dramatized Adaptation]

Harry Dresden is a professional wizard in Chicago, and he is the only one who advertises. He knows the ordinary world hides strange and magical things. Most of them do poorly around humans, and the ones that like humans tend to like them too much.

Harry is good at his work, and he knows it. Being the only wizard in town has not brought in clients, though, and business, to put it mildly, is bad. The rent is a worry, and the phone stays quiet.

Then the Chicago P.D. asks him to consult on a double homicide. The killings were carried out with black magic, and the crime scene is grisly. Harry sees a paying job at last, and he takes it.

Black magic means a black mage is behind it, and that mage now knows Harry's name. The case leads Harry into the darkest corners of magical Chicago, where the creatures he warns people about are close at hand.

This dramatized audiobook adaptation is the first in the Dresden Files series, and it keeps the urban fantasy and murder investigation at the center. The open question is whether the one wizard who wanted a client can outlast the mage who now wants him.
