He barely escapes an assassination attempt, courtesy of the Black Council of vampires, when Thomas, a vampire who has helped Harry out on occasion, asks him to take a case. It seems someone doesn't want porno film director Arturo Genosa's latest effort to get off the ground. An entropy spell has killed two of Arturo's assistants, and Thomas wants Harry to find the culprit. With suspects abounding--Arturo has no fewer than three ex-wives--Harry decides to pose as a production assistant at the studio. Though he isn't able to stop another sabotage attempt, this one threatening an actress' life, he does save the young woman. With danger closing in, the last thing Harry needs is a sexy succubus and a surprising revelation about his heritage. Filled with sizzling magic and intrigue as well as important developments for Harry, the latest of his adventures will have fans rapidly turning the pages. 227172 3 8 2004 Blood Rites (The Dresden Files, #6) total:4182|5:116|4:158|3:51|2:6|1:0| 4182 17710 5460 177 99383 0451459873 9780451459879 4066 168 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255574560m/99383.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/99383.Blood_Rites 2 1 false Sun Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 12:29:11 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 15:52:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 99383 0451459873 9780451459879 4066 168 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255574560m/99383.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/99383.Blood_Rites 4 1 false Wed Apr 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 05:21:35 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 14 18:43:07 -0700 2009 Book Twenty-four
