Dead Beat (2005) by Jim Butcher
A Novel of the Dresden Files
This novel is set in an alternate universe Chicago where all sorts of fearsome creatures run amok.
Wizard Harry Dresden aids the Special Investigations unit of the Chicago PD to defend humanity.
Features undead, werewolves, and demons.
As Halloween night approaches, minions of a dead necromancer fight among themselves to see which one will ascend to a position of preeminence. Graphically violent and an impressive body count.
Note: There is a Sci-Fi channel TV series based on the novels. I watched an episode for the first time last night. That episode was set at an earlier point in the series than the Dead Beat novel. In the TV episode, Dresden is just coming to grips with necromancy, whereas in the Dead Beat novel, he is already a veteran of many battles against necromancers.
