Storm Front by Jim Butcher is the first novel in the Dresden Files series, introducing Harry Dresden, a private investigator and wizard living in modern-day Chicago. The story begins with Dresden being contacted by a client seeking help with a supernatural case. Dresden is a reluctant consultant for the Chicago Police Department when it comes to strange, magical crimes, but his expertise in the supernatural often puts him in danger. His investigation begins with a brutal double murder in which the victims are found with bizarre magical wounds, suggesting that dark forces are at play. As Dresden delves deeper into the case, he encounters a variety of supernatural entities, including a dangerous warlock and a mysterious group involved in dark magic. He soon learns that a powerful artifact, the "Blackstaff," is at the heart of the murders, and he must navigate the dangerous and treacherous world of wizards, ghosts, and deadly forces to solve the crime.

Throughout Storm Front, Butcher combines elements of detective noir and urban fantasy, creating a gritty, fast-paced narrative with a unique blend of magic and mystery. Dresden, a sarcastic yet empathetic protagonist, faces personal challenges as well as external threats. His own magical abilities are put to the test as he encounters both familiar and new adversaries. The novel also introduces recurring characters such as Karrin Murphy, a no-nonsense police officer, and Michael Carpenter, a devout knight of the Cross who fights evil with a sword. As Dresden works through the murder investigation, he must confront the ethical and personal dilemmas that come with his role as a wizard, all while battling enemies that seek to destroy him. Storm Front sets the stage for a series full of complex plots, shifting alliances, and an ever-deepening exploration of Dresden's world.
