Gentleman Johnny Marcone isn't just a two-bit gangster anymore, not when he's now a mortal signatory of the Unseelie Accords. But while people like Harry Dresden and Karen Murphy want to see Marcone and his power games gone from Chicago, they have no interest in outcomes that lead to widespread chaos and bloodshed. Unfortunately, not everyone is so considerate, and once again Dresden and Marcone find themselves with a common enemy.
Most of the Dresden Files graphic novels I've read focus on Harry and sometimes Karen. This is the first one I've read that gives a fuller ensemble, with Molly, Mouse, and Johnny taking front seat along with Harry, plus support from Karen, Ms Gard, Mister, Thomas, and Bob.
Marcone, as always, exhibits his mastery of getting Harry to do what he wants (namely, by telling Harry to not do it). The two of them have a very interesting relationship, filled with antipathy, but they so often end up against the same wall.
