Fool Moon by Jim Butcher

Wizard Harry Dresden is practically broke, and he’s glad a student is treating him to a steak dinner as a bribe for information.  She shows him a paper with concentric wards, she knows about the one to keep spirits in/out, but what about the other two?   Harry doesn’t think she can handle such complex magic, and he refuses to explain the symbols on her paper.  She walks off, and he’s so upset he can’t even finish his steak.  That’s reasonable enough, a wizard doesn’t like to think of his student torn to pieces by supernatural forces.

Then a cop friend asks him for information about a messily dead body, just like a bunch of messily dead bodies last full moon, and he says “This is too dangerous for you.”  He says this to a cop, who is going to hunt the killer with or without the relevant information he is choosing to withhold from her.  Then a reporter friend asks him for info, and…  Harry says it’s too dangerous.  Because she’s going to pussy out on a great story on his say so, for sure. How does this guy keep his friends?  All three people he talked to that evening walked away angry at him.
