Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Wild Card #3

A badge-wearing woman levels a pistol dead at the viewer from a shadowy brick-wall alleyway, her determined expression and torn jeans suggesting she's already been through the wringer — all rendered with sharp, kinetic energy by cover artist Carlos Gómez. Looming in the darkness behind her is the unmistakable silhouette of a long-coated figure, adding a layer of tension to an already charged scene. This 2016 Dynamite entry in Jim Butcher's original Dresden Files story arc promises the gritty supernatural noir the series does so well.
