Summer Knight (Dresden Files, Bk 4)

Harry's been down since his girlfriend got halfway turned into a vampire and left him, and he doesn't seem to care about anything anymore. He's got his werewolf friends worried about him, especially since the Red Court vampires have declared war on the Wizard Council because of him. And now the Winter Queen of Faerie wants him to find out who murdered the Summer Queen's Knight to clear her name. What she doesn't tell him is that the world as he knows it might come to an end if he doesn't succeed.

While Butcher's books seem to escalate in action as the series progresses, these last two in particular are beginning to remind me of the Die Hard movie series - lots of punches, lots of blood, and yet the hero keeps getting up and throwing one more punch back at the bad guys. Where he gets the energy you just can't figure out. Still, it makes for entertaining reading!
