Book excerpt: From boxing matches to dragon races to elections, there's no wager Harry won't cover—so long as the odds are right. Harry the Book operates out of a Manhattan bar booth, with his personal wizard and his zombie bodyguard close at hand. He'll dope out the odds on any sort of contest, even if that gets him into a heap of trouble. Be it conniving gamblers, lovelorn wizards, or flea-bitten werewolves, when it comes to the misadventures of Harry and his crew one thing is certain: the hex is always in. This book contains fifteen tales of Harry the Book—the complete set of Resnick's beloved Damon Runyon-inspired urban fantasy yarns, including one brand-new story and several never before published in the United States.
