But when the magical upstart enters into an alliance with the notorious mob boss "Gentleman Johnnie" Marcone, will the fast-and-loose Dresden and his young charge survive unscathed?

While this comic's Harry Dresden was a fitting heir to Paul Blackthorne's rugged and handsome wizard, Harry's sensible jeans and henley look bizarre next to Molly's crop top and low riders. It didn't ruin the book for me, but (sigh), it was a typical disappointment. Just assume that every woman in the book will be wearing weirdly scanty versions of normal clothes while the men are either appropriately dressed like Harry or tricked out in King Pin suits like Marcone and his thugs. Even Thomas, a White Court vampire that uses sex appeal to stay alive, only goes as far as a button down and bedroom eyes. Marcone's female lieutenant is wearing a skirted suit that barely covers her crotch.
