The Dresden Files
The Dresden Files are Jim's first published series, telling the story of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P.I. Jim has commented in the past that he's got ideas for running the series into the lower twenties, at least — here's hoping the publisher agrees! The Science Fiction Book Club has gathered the first three books together in a hardcover collection entitled Wizard for Hire
