Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files
The Dresden Files:
Harry Dresden is a wizard who works as a private investigator of sorts in Chicago (he's in the phone book, the only listing under "Wizards"), dealing with paranormal crimes and consulting for the Chicago Police Department. He is named after three different stage magicians — Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Sr., and David Copperfield. This name was given to him by his father, Malcolm Dresden, a stage magician himself, who raised Harry while still performing his magic show all across the country. The stories are told from Harry's point of view in a hardboiled style.

I finally broke down and got Storm Front on CD... and discovered I LOVE JAMES MARSTERS VOICE!!! and that I like Harry Dresden too... I think that he gets the short end of the stick too often but that is how life sometimes falls. An adventure I enjoyed to the max!
