Every once in while, it is nice to read a serial sci-fi/fantasy serial. It helps where there is a fair amount of mystery involved and no knight-in-shining-armor-on-white-horse type heroes involved (there is here, but he isn't the protagonist, just the sidekick).
Grave Peril is the 3rd book in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series. In it, Harry and Micheal (a Knight with some serious backing) are fighting ghosts that keep appearing in Chicago and investigating who is causing them to appear. For those who have read any of the Dresden books, it goes without saying that the investigations do not go smoothly, and it is just a question of how many enemies Harry manages to bring down on himself before the end. This does not end cleanly folks leaving Harry, after a battle with vampires with heartache and the possibility of all-out war (maybe that's in book 4).
A fun quick read and a nice continuation of the series.
I suggest watching the TV show as well.
