Under pressure from her superiors and the mayor's office to close the case, Lt. Murphy calls in Harry Dresden, Chicago's only consulting wizard.

When Dresden interviews the zoo staff, he encounters anger and outright hostility from many of them, who blame him for the administration's decision to kill Moe.

He find a casting circle on the floor, the residue of powerful magical workings, and a filing cabinet with ritual jars full of animal blood.

The trail leads him to "Undertown", the maze of caves, discontinued subway tunnels and abandoned streets below Chicago.

Watson's magical power and inhuman strength are no match for Moe's raw ferocity, and she is quickly ripped to pieces.
