About Peace Talks
Product Description HARRY DRESDEN IS BACK AND READY FOR ACTION, in the new entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files. When the Supernatural nations of the world meet up to negotiate an end to ongoing hostilities, Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, joins the White Council's security team to make sure the talks stay civil. But can he succeed, when dark political manipulations threaten the very existence of Chicago—and all he holds dear? Review Praise for Peace Talks“I've been waiting years for Peace Talks. This wasn't the book I was hoping for. It's better.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss “Buckle up. It’s going to be one, hard, ride. Jim Butcher has long proven he can juggle multiple threads of political intrigue, personal drama, and threat with a masterful use of action and tension....you’re not going to want to put Peace Talks down.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison Praise for The Dresden Files “Harry Dresden is a wholly original character in a wholly original world. Every book in the series is a great adventure.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris “There are no words for how much I love The Dresden Files. I take them out and reread them when I am sad, or bored, or happy--or I happen to walk by one even though I have a lot of other things I should be doing. When a new one comes out, I plan on taking the day off. Superb.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs “Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly “Butcher is the dean of contemporary urban fantasy.”—Booklist“A great series...one of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”—Cinescape About the Author Jim Butcher is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera, and the Cinder Spires novels.

That kicked me completely out of my mental zone, and suddenly I became aware of the burning in my legs, my heavy breathing. I dropped out of gear and gradually slowed down until I was walking. In the blue light of July predawn, Montrose Beach was deserted. It wasn't hot yet. That's why I was up at oh-God-thirty. Thomas slowed down, too, until we were walking side by side. His dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Like me, he wore an old T-shirt, sweatpants, and sneakers. He was one of those men who were so good-looking that it made people check around to see if they were being pranked. He was also a vampire. "Let me get this right. You pick me up this morning," I said. "We came all the way down here. We did six miles in the sand and neither of us said a word. The whole city is still and quiet. We've barely seen a moving car." "Yeah?" Thomas asked. I scowled. "So why'd you have to go and ruin it?" His mouth twitched at the corner. "Sorry to spoil your man time, there, Hemingway." "Nnngh," I said. We had reached the end of our last lap and were almost back to the cars anyway. I stopped and turned toward the lake and breathed. The weighted vest I was wearing pinched at something on my shoulder, restricting its movement, and I rolled it irritably. Far out over the lake, the blue had begun to lighten. Sunrise would be soon. "You sure?" I asked. "Very," he said. I glanced aside at him. The ideal symmetry of his face was stretched tight with tension.

He looked aside at me without turning his head and lifted his eyebrows. "Did no one ever have this talk with you?" I scowled. "I mean, weren't you careful?" "Yes," Thomas said.
