Author Biography A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronauts Windlass. Review Praise for the Dresden Files"Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe."—Entertainment Weekly"Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series."—Midwest Book Review "Superlative."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) "One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves."—Cinescape "Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harrys wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot."—Booklist (starred review) "Whats not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves."—SF Site "A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channels TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner."—Library Journal "What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files]."—The Washington Times Review Quote Praise for the Dresden Files "Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe."-- Entertainment Weekly "Fans of Laurell Excerpt from Book Table of Contents Title Page Copyright Page Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Five Chapter Six Chapter Seven Chapter Eight Chapter Nine Chapter Ten Chapter Eleven Chapter Twelve Chapter Thirteen Chapter Fourteen Chapter Fifteen Chapter Sixteen Chapter Seventeen Chapter Eighteen Chapter Nineteen Chapter Twenty Chapter Twenty-one Chapter Twenty-two Chapter Twenty-three Chapter Twenty-four Chapter Twenty-five Chapter Twenty-six Chapter Twenty-seven Chapter Twenty-eight Chapter Twenty-nine Chapter Thirty Chapter Thirty-one Chapter Thirty-two Chapter Thirty-three Chapter Thirty-four Chapter Thirty-five Chapter Thirty-six Chapter Thirty-seven Chapter Thirty-eight Chapter Thirty-nine Authors Note ALSO BY JIM BUTCHER THE DRESDEN FILES STORM FRONT FOOL MOON SUMMER KNIGHT DEATH MASKS BLOOD RITES DEAD BEAT PROVEN GUILTY WHITE NIGHT SMALL FAVOR THE CODEX ALERA FURIES OF CALDERON ACADEMS FURY CURSORS FURY CAPTAINS FURY Copyright Details ISBN0451458443 Author Jim Butcher Language English ISBN-10 0451458443 ISBN-13 9780451458445 Media Book DEWEY FIC Series Number 03 Year 2001 Imprint Dutton / Signet Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Short Title DRESDEN FILES #03 GRAVE PERIL Audience Age 14-18 Residence Independence, MO, US Birth 1966 Pages 464 DOI 10.1604/9780451458445 UK Release Date 2001-10-01 AU Release Date 2001-09-01 NZ Release Date 2001-09-01 US Release Date 2001-09-01 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Series Dresden Files Format Paperback Publication Date 2001-09-01 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
