The building was on fire, and this time it was not my fault.

One of the Dresden File books, I forget which one it was sadly.

HA! I picked up a Dresden file book and dismissed it almost right out of hand a few years ago (can't remember why), but maybe I should revisit.

The first 2 books are considered the weakest, even by the writer. The community suggests the 3rd book is a good entry point.
